I think I may have killed my board

Post by Macros »

Silly me. I soldered in a new hot end cooling fan with the printer power on. I heard a little "tick" from the front of the printer and now the LCD screen won't turn on and I can't connect via USB. I checked the blade fuse and both the smaller fuses on the board and they have continuity. Does this sound like it looks? Blown RAMBO? Both the PSU and RAMBO fans are on.

Any help would be great.

Make sure you only test the fuses after you remove them from the board - you can get a false "good" otherwise.

Sounds like the little f3 fuse. It's a little 5a board mount fuse near the primary power on the board. We killed ours once and ordered 10 to kep some on hand.
