Help! Printer will not fully power on!
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2018 3:32 am
So the exteuder fan went out the other night. I was rotating it to look at the extruder and the wires to it just snapped.
I attempted to solder them back on tonight. Plugged in the resoldered fan and now when the printer is powered on it sounds different. The fan on the motherboard will not start up. And I am unable to connect to the printer.
I didn't test starting it up without the extruder fan connected first so I am not sure if its not coming on because it won't without the fan connected and I didnt get it soldered properly? Or if I shorted something somehow when I plugged it in?
Then to add to the confusion we had 3 power surges/outages tonight while the printer was off. Plugged in, but off.
What could cause the motherboard to not respond anymore? And is there some way to reset it or something?
Please help me trouble shoot this! I have a ticket in with Makergear but they are taking forever to respond these days. And since it's Friday night they won't respond til Monday at best.
