xTool F2 Ultra randomly hard reboots during jobs — possible laser head or PSU issue?

Hey everyone,

my xTool F2 Ultra suddenly started rebooting during jobs.

Symptoms:

  • machine works normally at startup
  • after starting a job, it runs for ~20 seconds
  • then it suddenly hard reboots as if power was cut
  • no normal error message shown
  • the external power adapter also briefly shuts off/restarts

Things I already tested:

  • multiple wall outlets
  • no power strips/extensions
  • emergency stop button checked
  • fans appear to work
  • lens cover removed
  • issue is reproducible

Software/Firmware:

  • XTool Studio 1.6.8
  • Firmware 40.54.020.00.ht5
  • mostly connected over WiFi so far

but some of those seem related to an automatic XTool Studio update, so I’m not convinced that’s the root cause.

xTool support currently suspects:

  • laser head fault
  • power protection shutdown
  • or PSU/overcurrent related issue

The machine is still under warranty (<1 year old).

Has anyone here experienced:

  • sudden F2 Ultra reboots,
  • PSU shutdowns,
  • or defective laser heads causing protection shutdowns?

Would especially appreciate:

  • known failure patterns
  • temporary workarounds
  • how long xTool warranty repairs took for you

Thanks!
