Geeetech

Hi!,
Today i tried printing something but my geeetech e180 wont turn on.
I have checked the transformer as well as the printer but cant find anything wrong with it. Im going to test it with a multimeter today.
Can somebody tell me where should i get the 12v reading? and can somebody tell me what PSU should i buy if it is deffective?
Thank you!

Same problem since yesterday. The transformer has no dc output.

The seller is going to send me a replacement for the damaged transformer.

The Power supply from the E180 use: Output: DC 12V/6A

Same here. Without power, I hope that the replacement power supply is better.

OK that's weird - mine has done this exact same thing. I went to turn it on today for the first time in a few days and not a peep. I have also tried changing fuse, power lead etc. Not sure how to test anything else at the moment.

Strange that all these machines stopped working in the same week.


Also I popped the base plate off and found that one of the motor driver board heatsinks had been rattling around loose inside the machine - no idea how long for.

do you guys know if the problem is in the transformer or in the power supply unit?

hi mine done the same. but my power brick was not 12v6a it was 12v8a. my power brick was melted a little and a substance was leaking out of it...
when I opened the power brick there was a large capacitor had popped and leaked. I think the substance melted the plastic as there was no sign of heat damage..
the problem I think was caused like most here.. I left it a week unused.. and it is strange that they all failed close to each other..
