Extruder wont heat up, extruder stepper wont turn, and other

Post by TundraGeek »

Extruder wont heat up, extruder stepper wont turn, heat bed wont heat up nor does it show a temp reading on repatier, and the lcd is a bunch of squares unless i look from the top. I have pics:

my control board:

extruder and bed heat wires:

extruder and bed plug wires:

I thought they went here but when i plug them into here it gives me the maxtemp error: (pins to the left)
Image

so what do i do? is my wiring bad or do i have a bad heat bed and extruder? or am i missing parts?

maybe you connect the heating wire of extruder to hot bed.

Hi everything is working,the bed has a temp reading, everything heats up, but the extruder stepper still wont turn. Here is the lcd (I meant to include it in the main post)

It shows up a lot clearer in the picture but from a sitting or standing perspective its impossible to see:

however if i look at it from a top down perspective i you can see it:

This honestly doesn't bother me that much but its still a miner inconvenience
