I have been using my 50w OMTech laser for about 3 years now. Recently, I’ve had a problem with my laser power, it just got very weak. It wasn’t gradual either, it just happened out of nowhere. I can’t cut 1/8th inch plywood anymore without doing like 10 passes now. I’ve tried increasing power, slowing my speed, it just won’t do it. I checked my laser, my alignment, mirrors, and lenses. But all of it is still fine. However, no matter what power setting I use, the power supply only goes up to 2 mA. I have another laser tube if I need to replace it, but I’m just not convinced it’s the tube. Could it be the power supply?

Replacing the power supply is much less expensive and far less hassle than replacing the tube, so do that first, even though you have a tube on hand.
If a new power supply doesn’t perk things up, then swap in the new tube and keep the old power supply on the shelf as a spare.
