partscooling-fan not working at all

Good morning from Germany!
Yesterday I received my A10 (new version with filament sensor) and the first print went very good. Unfortunately, my partscooling-fan does not work at all.
Neither when I print the sample gcode (A10_dog.gcode) nor when I set it in the menu to "255" (menu control / temperature / fan).
No reaction from the fan at all...

thx in adavance...

PS: This isnt my first 3d printer, so I know what I am doing :))

Hello.
:mrgreen:

So, in the first step I would check the correctness of the connections.
The second step is whether there is a voltage on the fan's cables after the fan has been driven.
Check the 12/24V fan type and compare it with the control voltage.
;)

ehm... where exactly are the pins for the parts-fan?

Update: I played a bit with the cables and now it seems to work...
I will keep an eye on it.

thx!

Check the slot on the extension board first (seems you got it).
So it might be the poor connection? ;)

Exact same problem here, with new A10 (GT2560 v3.0 mainboard).
Proposed solution (play with cable) does not solve.
Any idea ?

Thanks
