I've got two Rapide 3d Lite 200 XL v2s. Machine #1 needs a new SD memory card PCB which I found online and am now waiting to arrive. That machine also has an unresolved issue with the display immediately indicating (on start-up) that the hot end is at temperature, when in fact it is not.
Machine #2 was working OK up till about a week ago now has two issues, possibly related that have me dead in the water. At first the thing would just stop in the middle of a print without warning, symptoms or indication as to why. It just stops the hot end cools and the nozzle fuses to the part. Lately the thing isn't even starting. I press the power button which lights up and the fan comes on but that's it. Display is dead and I cannot do anything.
I took the printer apart and reseated the ribbon cable into the mother board and then it worked for about 5 minutes, then died. I took everything apart again. This time I also reseated the ribbon cable in the display housing. Again the display initially turned on but as soon as I hit the button for preheat, it shut down.
Neither of the machines has ever worked with the USB cable. I am pulling out what little hair I have left. Any ideas?
