A20T Not turning on
Posted: Sun May 17, 2020 12:05 pm
Hi,
So after discovering a blockage in one of my filament tubes, I took the hot end apart after reading about the steel balls located at the end of each tube to find out how much PLA was stuck in the blocked tube.
After putting the head etc back together I powered the unit on only to smell burning emanating from one of the heat rods, and after quickly blowing out the smoldering wire the unit stopped working.
The fan in the power supply runs very slowly, the rest of the printer doesn't come on, no lights, no fans nothing. However when I move the bed or the exturder unit along their respecting belts, the lights start but the motherboard fan doesn't.
Can you please advise the best course of action? I can not afford a brand new unit again after only having it for 17 days!
