Long time for LCD to boot?

Post by Jimustanguitar »

I've been printing like crazy for the past week or so (almost 24 hours a day), and this morning the printer acted differently than ever before. It now takes about 10 second for the LCD to start displaying text after I turn on the power. It lights up instantly and shows the "blocks" like normal, but it takes considerably longer to show words and boot to the menu.

Any idea what to look at? I haven't changed any wiring or firmware in quite a while. Perhaps it's time to reflash my firmware?

Is it plugged into a computer via USB? I experience similar issues when I have a host program connected to the printer, then shut the printer off and turn it on again.

It is probably tired, doesn't want to wake up! I would be too if I had to work 24 -7. :D sorry no help but couldn't resist.

Been using AstroPrint... I'll disconnect it and see what happens when the current job is finished tomorrow.
