Bed won't heat
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2020 2:02 pm
I have a Rostock Max V2 modified with a HE280.
Two days ago, the bed quit heating. In recent weeks, I have been using higher bed temps of 110 degrees for ABS whereas previously I printed PLA at 60 degrees. A wire from a brick power supply to the Rambo board overheated. I replaced the supply wires from the brick with a heavier gauge wire and attempted to print but the bed would not heat.
The hot end heats up normally.
The LED on the bed heater does not light. I have checked the three fuses and they all show continuity. A voltmeter across the terminals that connect to the wires of the heated bed does not show any voltage.
From the SeeMeCNC knowledge base, I referred to "My Hot End / Heated Bed Does Not Heat Up". https://seemecnc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/a ... ot-heat-up
The LED on the Rambo board below "Heat-2 Bed" does not light up. I checked the physical connections and at the end of the troubleshooting procedure, it is recommended to clear and re-install the firmware in the EEPROM.
I have re-installed the firmware and the bed still does not heat.
Can anyone recommend any further actions I should take?
Is there a schematic that I could follow to look for faulty components on the Rambo board?
