Heat bed or board
June 12, 2017 03:20PM
Hi guys half way through a 2 day print my heat bed stopped working.the print went cold and detatched from the bed. I was 8 hours from the end and I was a bit pissed off to say the least.
A wire had broke loose from the solder. I stopped the print and resolderd it back on and started the print again.
This time the bed is not heating so I checked the voltage with my multy metter and 0 volts at the bed so I checked the board output.
The hotend is 12 volts but the bed is 0 volts is my board dead or are there fuses or other replaceble bits like some sort of driver?
The board is a Geetech GT2560
Thanks
Adrian

There are a surface mount fuses on the GT2560 the indicated one is for the bed

Hi guys just a update the fuses are all good so its the board at fault. Lucky I've got spare boards to tinker with. Anyone know for a diagram of the layout of parts on the board. you know witch resistors and components are for heating and so on.
Thanks guys

sadly its closed source... no schematics..

but its the same idea as the ramps

atmega io pin -> mosfet gate to turn heated bed on and off
+ power threw the mosfet.

Only other thing you can do is replace the mosfet, anything more would require surface mount work..
