A5s Screen distorted and then black

Hello guys, 
do not know what happened today and why that happened today had massive problems
just did not get a clean print, as I turned off the device to cause a reset I had the screen dark,
then back out then he came back distorted and did not get better,
can not control axes or anything else? Does anyone know what's going on?

thanks asterix007

    Perhaps try flashing the factory firmware again? I don't really know what would cause this kind of corruption.

    You could also try shielding the cable with foil tape? Could be interference?

    the printer can not be put into operation, as if the stream was too weak ...
    I had not made a FW apdate

    Message from Octoprint

    Ok, this looks like a short circuit on the heated bed. Please check the connector and wiring for the bed.

    where can I enter the command M999 - "Resend: 1?

  • Samuel PinchesSamuel Pinches Posts: 2,997Administrator
    The message is telling you the printer restarted for safety reasons. The M999 is not something you need to do, you just need to restart the printer before anything will continue. The cause of this error looks like the heated bed thermistor or wiring is short circuited.

    I have already unplugged it several times and again, plug connection controlled ... 
    all seem to be ok ... visually at least

  • Samuel PinchesSamuel Pinches Posts: 2,997Administrator
    Can you unplug the bed thermistor and see if the error changes?

    I made, error is still present ... :(

  • Samuel PinchesSamuel Pinches Posts: 2,997Administrator
    So, you unplug the bed thermistor, connect to pronterface, clear the log, and restart the printer, and the error is the same? Then I would suggest contact JGAurora for support. Perhaps there is a fault on the motherboard. You could try to reinstall the firmware to try to repair any corruption.

    extruder I have reduced the fan and there seems to be at least optically everything ok ...
    the screws open taken out the heating stick, I have no plan what that can be ...

    tried with the map what to print, the screen is so far stable again, only the bar on the right does not fit, and the temperature display ...

    how do I do that "connect to pronterface, clear the log"

  • Samuel PinchesSamuel Pinches Posts: 2,997Administrator
    This is all very strange. Sorry, I meant connect to octoprint, and check the new section of the log

    Maybe I have not been clear. There is nothing to reset.  When a thermal safety error occurs, the printer halts and requires a restart. Did the MAXTEMP error go away?

    Can you please unplug the thermistor for the bed from the motherboard... keep it unplugged. Then turn off the printer and on again. Then check the error. If MAXTEMP is still there (note: MAXTEMP = badMINTEMP = good) then it is a motherboard error.

    I suggest you try to re-flash the original firmware.
    1. Put this file on an SD card.
    2. Insert SD card into printer.
    3. Turn printer off, and then on again.
    4. Wait for firmware to flash.

    @asterix007 - I understand, that's very disappointing. If you contact JGAurora official support, I'm sure they will help you fix it, their warranty support is quite good. You can email them at support@zgew3d.com

    I have to say something
    
    again and again it is on the board of the A5s ... I read that again and again,
    
    What more regrets me is that so many people ask for help here
    (which is not a problem, yes is a forum)
    but few write down the solution or what has brought them to the solution ..
    
    very sad...
