Hey all.
So im fairly new to the 3d printer hobbie. I bought my printer only 2 months ago and already have had to buy new hot end, changed my original extruder to a direct drive. And just before that my screen froze on the boot up creality screen. Ive looked up all the way to update firmware, ive reformatted my sd card (quick and long version) several different cards. Tried new screen firmware. My main concern is when I turn on my printer I dont ever see a loading bar. Not ever. So what does that mean to you who know these printers? Im guessing my motherboard got damaged?? This all happened after 2 times a print didnt stick to my heat bed and it just clogged up my hot end, nozzle all of it was super clogged. Thats why I ended up just replacing it all hopeing that would fix my screen issue?? Ive unplugged my thermister, hot end and a few other things from the motherboars to see if I could target where the issue was. But it still just turnsbon tobthe creality screen, the numbers apear at the lower section, but stops there… HELP!!!
Hello, I am having the same problem as you. I’ve done many of the same things as you, including the way the problem started. It’s almost scary how similar the events happened. The print had come off the build plate and plastic encased the hotend twice. Then as I was cleaning it the second time, the display froze. I tried turning the printer off and on again, as I had always done when the screen froze, but this time the screen stayed frozen on the boot up screen. I’ve tried unpluging the hotend and thermistor wires, I’ve tried flashing the firmware of the main board and the screen with multiple different versions many times and even with different formatted sd cards, and I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting different wires. I wanted to know if you were ever able to fix your problem and how.
