Need help diagnosing heatbed issue
December 24, 2014 10:53AM
The bed seems to have given up and I can't find the answer anywhere.

After I applied insulation to the bottom of my MK2 and ran it a few times it would not go above 90C. I thought I knackered it so bought a brand new MK2a but it made no difference. After reading online I though it might have been a bad polyfuse that can't reset itself, so I shortened it out, but again no cigar. I also noticed that the heatbed mosfet gets very hot (might be normal) so I stuck a heat sink on it anyway but I'm pretty sure 0 difference was made.

Don't know what else to check, please help.

RAMPS 1.4 - Marlin - PID is off

PSU 12.20V when bed off. 11.5V when on
V to bed 10.6V

Noobs McGee,

If it is the same bed as mine there are 3 pins:
1 is +ve 12v
2 & 3 need to be combined as -ve 12v

otherwise only half the bed is used. It should say on it.
