Hi guys,
I've been printing with my Rostock Max v2 for few months now.
Starting a couple days ago prints would randomly stop in the middle.
Today the print failed again but the screen also went blank and the computer won't connect to the printer anymore.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks for your help

Check the fuses on the board.

Hey @geneb,
That's the first thing I've tried and they were all ok,
but then by just moving wires around (in a pretty amteurish way I admit) to try to detect a short the LCD came back on.
It looked like a major short was happening on my power input connector.
I got the kit and that connector was not my best work on the printer, seems fixed now, just launch a print to see if that was my issue with prints stopping in the middle.
Thanks for your help.

Stop immediately!
A loose connection is a high resistance point. It WILL heat up and melt the connector after a short time.
You have to make sure the power connections are nice and tight.
