I've bought a second printer, an Ender 5 (also running Marlin) and a Palette 2 Pro S (and hub) and would like to do another update for the Marlin build but the version on the new printer is customised and older and hesitate to change anything unless i can do a full backup.

It appears the firmware update I downloaded from the site here that was for the i3 pro b gt2560 A+ with 3d touch either did not install or expects a different configuration. It was treating the sensor as a z endstop as far as I can tell hence the single self test at power on and no response to ...
