Geeetech

I have burned up two geeeetech printrboards and can't seem to figure out why. The motors still run fine one both card but no heat from the hot end.

A close look shows a burnt trace going from the power over to the hotend connector.

I'm running a 203watt Xbox power supply
12.23v at 16amps

Anyone have any idea why it's doing this?

Anyway I can rig this so it will work?

I can provide picture or video if that helps

thanks for your post.
the printrboard couldn't suffer 16amps.
our tech staff is research the better printrboard.
any other problem,just feel free to let me know.
i can do whatever to help you out.
thanks.

What is the power rating for the geeeetech printrboard?

12v 10a-12a

Is it possible that you can update the wiki page and or the product page about this power limitation?

sure , of course.I will update.thanks.

Okay I think I have ruled out the power supply as being the problem.
I am working on trouble shooting this more but I'm wondering if anyone has had any problems like this?

Is there a way I can make a jumper to jump around the burnt trace?

You can make a jumper to jump around the burnt trace.
Because I couldn't post picture here.
As for the detail,pls send an email to our tech department:Technical@geeetech.com
He will help you to solve the problem.
Thanks very much.

I just sent an email.

I am pretty good with a soldering iron so that would work for me.

Here's a video of the cards.

I did the contact form like two days ago and just got a message to post a topic on the geeetech forum.

The trace that is burnt out runs under a capacitor. I'm wondering if its connected to the capacitor?
