My Prusa I3 has stopped working after I built it
February 20, 2016 08:07AM
Hi everyone,

I built my prusa and used the LCD to check the movement of the motors and all was fine, I watched some videos on how to get everything up and running, they all said to download marling and arduino IDE to change all the settings i then followed on to update my firmware to the latest version for my MEGA2560 and after that things went bad. The words on my lcd were replaced by squares and then the lcd stopped displaying anything apart from rectangles, I changed all my setting back to what they were before and then it wouldn't allow me to upload it to the board. I then used pronterface to check everything was ok and then nothing was happening here is what comes up. I have tried everything to get it back but nothing is working and would really appreciate help.

means your hot end thermistor is probably shorted,
Take the hot end thermistor plug off the board, read the resistance threw the plugs, wires and thermistor, should be about 100K at 25c
