2 weeks after buy it, i was changing my geeetech a10 nozzle when suddently it stopped working. Control board doesnt seem to power up and i have no idea of what to do :cry: there are one red light in control board and one green light in power supply but nothing seems to work.

I was so happy with it and then that... :cry: :cry:

No and no. The screen is totally off and the printer doesnt do anything if you connect to the PC. When i powered up before the fan of the control board immediately start to work and the screen lighted up, but now nothing happens except that light.

Apparently the 10a fuse (which links with the printer itself while the other links only with the hot bed) is dead, I have disassembled the hot end to see what happened and i have realized that the two cables that power up the hot end are quite exposed, when I was changing the nozzle, I had to short-circuit them with the adjustable wrench I use to hold the heather block... Is it normal for those wires to be this exposed? :|

I have ordered a few 10a fuses to change it and i will try to take care when i change my nozzles.

Regards.

Dear I had same issue
your power supply volt is very low not 24V
so no fans are working

Check power supply outlet volt
if so ask supplier to replace or buy a new one

WUT I dont understand you at all.

I have the stock power supply wich i think is more than enough to power the printer. The problem is that i caused a short-circuit by accident and the 10a fuse broke, that's it. I have replaced it and everyting works prefectly.

Nonetheless I honestly think that Heather Cartridge's wires are quite exposed, a simple touch with my wrench caused this....
