Geeetech

Hi.
I had a problem with the hot end of my A10M. It was completely clogged with filament and was impossible to clean.
I decided to buy a new hotend from Geeetech and it arrived today.
I installed the new hotend with the old heating element .
As I turned on the printer, everything seemed normal on the display, but when I increased the temperature, the display turned black and I couldn't make the printer work anymore.
The power supply is running and there are red lights on the motherboard. It cannot connect to the computer via USB.

Have I destroyed my motherboard in any way?
The new hotend is connected properly and the only new component that is connected, is the thermistor.

I do not want to buy a new motherboard when I do not know what went wrong.

Can any of you Experts Help?

Hello.


The symptoms you've described aren't a good omen.

You can try to measure 5V power supply voltage.
The first time you turn on the mains power. Once again when you additionally disconnect the cable connector to the new hot-end.

Hi, When you turn on the printer, does your motherboard have three lights on as shown below? If the three lights are not lit normally, you may need to replace the motherboard.

If the motherboard is lit normally, you need to check if your wiring is correct.

I hope this can help you.

The LED's are not lit...next stop: the city dump. Thank you for your answer

Hi, You can try to replace the motherboard.

I posted on a piece of junk A10M that is going to the scrap heap this weekend. The post seems to have disappeared. Imagine that!
