I've been running my 1st generation gMax 3D printer for almost a year and a half now and have had minor problems off and on, but nothing huge.
A few weeks ago the printer started shutting off intermittently and then sometimes turning back on and other times not until at last it would not turn on anymore.
I figured it was the power supply so I sent it back to the manufacturer and received a new one. I also switched out the RAMPS 1.4 board with a new one as well. That all being said, the board lights up and the LCD screen glows now, but there is no text. If I hook it up to the computer with a USB text shows. However, I cannot control or engage the motors to move. I'm currently at a loss.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if the 12v isn't engaging somewhere or what...
Thanks!
