Why it was recalled

Certain Auriga consoles may exhibit faster than normal power degradation due to a potential issue in the mechanical cooling system that could lead to a low power error (1301) being displayed on the screen. The console is designed to stop emitting laser pulses and enters a stand-by mode after a low power error message.
