It must be infectious, mine just did the same thing and was prompted with this error. Also running 8.0 w/ service pack. Status window says 66 limits violating balancing.

This error if often a sign of oncoming failure

I just had this type of error, the only thing that could be done is a new probehead.

I doubt this will save it but it's worth a shot.  Take your heaviest probe, or build one near the weight limit, then put that on the head and let it pick it up.  

There is a screw or something in there that can top out.  Especially if you only use light probes.  This will pull it down and give you extra room to pick up other probes.  

But realistically, the head is probably going bad, but always try this first.  Its a good low hanging fruit thing to try before you shell out a bunch of money.

Oh boy That's going to hurt...... We just had our machine serviced in September and haven't had any hard crashes from that point on. Few bumps here n there but damn. 
It wouldn't pick up an XTR adapter plate after power restart either. Had change manually to get it to accept the plate. 

Would anyone know if they have to fly back out to install a new sensor head and calibrate?

 I think I saw you mention this in another thread. I tried it out and didn't seem to change much. Maybe its too late...

Based off everyone else's experience with this, how much time do you think i have left?
