I'd love to get my hands on a broken display like this! The reason being I've got that crazy idea about modding the backlight in my head (basically changing the colour). I assume the LCD is backlit by LEDs but I'd like to explore on a damaged unit how integrated the backlight actually is, rather than potentially mess up a perfectly good one. I even checked the online classified ads for broken printers but have come up empty so far.

Same happened to me, and I fixed it with another electric discharge on purpose, now working. Looks that lcd has no or loose gnd ?

Hot end kerfuffles have been my foe for the most part (knock on wood) haha I also feel your pain when not having a printer and cleaning up a house to sell!! both stressful. Had to remove my screen protector to get the feels lol.

The ports on the LCD are numbered 1 and 2 also by the way.

I had the same problem due to an electrostatic discharge. I sent a photo of the screen to Prusa and they sent me a new display for free...

Wow! Prusa does a good job on their printer and taking care of their customers. Support matters
@KenHackbarth5 жыл бұрын
@@iqless Just saying, I think it's best to work through their support department if you have the time and haven't done anything too stupid. You'll often get the fix for free.

Yeah next time I just need to call them. I tend to jump the gun on doing it myself

Neat! We had quite a few prints aborted during colour changes thanks to static discharges but fortunately no damage to any of the printers yet! Some days were so bad I actually considered wearing an anti-ESD wristband anytime I touched the printers!

Yeah, a bit of life had to be done. Chances are I won't do a lot of videos in the next few months, as we will be moving. But I have a lot of cool video ideas queued up. Too many cool things I want to 3D print :)

Hey Pat....have you ever replaced the thermistor?
@iqless5 жыл бұрын
Yes I have. There are two thermistors one that measures bed temp and one that measures nozzle temp. I have had to replace both at different points. Bed Thermistor kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqvJqWOsmKp3fJY and kzbin.info/www/bejne/e33Cq6BrpaqhjM0 (Not sure if I video'd the thermistor replacement but I am pretty sure I talked about it ;) Nozzle thermistor kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJPdZ2iOm7CMgac
