Have you tried a fresh blade or the deep blade housing from the E? Well, that is if you still have any of he blades left from the E. The blade that came with your units might be a defective blades.

After you try it, let us know the outcome.

Yes, try updating the G as that might fix the problem and let us know the outcome. Thus far, I have not seen updating issues with the E2.

Thanks for catching my typo ! You know I have G itis!! I am glad that you knew I was talking about the E2 and not the G!!

Glad that it worked and YES it is always good that your sister is sharing your hobby especially if she will start buying the carts!! That way, you can give your pocket a break!!

Hi Chris,just opened my E2 today. It worked right out of the box! I made a few cuts, so far so good!

Hello Chris,

I purchased the E2 Sept. 2011 from HSN but didn't start using it unitl last week. I love the E2 however, I have a few minor issues.

1. My E2 is very noisy. Based on another post, I will take out & re-insert the blade and see if this eliminates the noise.

2. I didn't receive a White Housing Blade with my machine. I received the standard GHB. Should I advise PC?

3. I cannot insert my DCB with housing into the machine. It just doesn't fit. I tried several times. I have a metallic blue DHB that I use with my original E. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a special DCB for the E2? I noticed the holder opening doesn't open all the way---not sure if this is the problem or how to fix it.


4. Since I updated my G to use with the E2 it freezes up (way too often). I never had a problem with my G before so I find this frustrating...I love & use my G all the time. It is much easier than inserting carts into the E or E2 all the time.

5. I find my original E mats do not sync with the E2 images. That is, when I use my E mats the images are cut off at the top. The E2 mat appears to have a small boundary line. I work around this but just thought I'd mention it. I didn't see anyone else post this issue. I have several E mats incl. 12x24. oh well.

6. The E2 doesn't accept a blade 6 for cutting???? Yet, it is listed in the machine. Any ideas?

Question: Is there a way to link our cartridges to the E2 so we don't have to insert each individual cart. I know we must keep at least one cartridge in the E2 in order for it to work. I often use images from two cartridges that is why I love my G and was hoping the E2 would work the same way. Any thoughts on this?

---

On a funny side, when I first used the E2 I didn't remove the clear cover and couldn't read the information on the screen & thought OMG! I'm going blind & I have to send back the E2 machine since I couldn't read anything. After reading instructions, I realized the clear cover came off. Hope my stupidity gives you a laugh .

Even with the above issues I love, love, love my E2. Just wish we could link our carts to it.

Best,
Mary R.

I did what you said and even tried it while the cart was in there. No such luck. The screen still flashes between the two. I'll be calling in today to see what they say to do.

Good to hear that pc will be replacing your cart.

Are you cutting with the Gypsy or are you cutting without the Gypsy?

Click the below link, go to post 33 and let us know the outcome.

Post 33 says the below:

If your E2 is stuck on the Logo Screen, follow the below information:

With the power off press the magnifying glass the pause key and power button

You will then see a rainbow test pattern screen the machine will cycle the roller bars and then the blue calibration screen will come on with the cross hair in the upper left hand corner.

Chase the cross hairs and then it should go to the mat screen

What is the status of the E2?
