Greeting everyone,
I just finished installing the mosfet for the heating bed and now I cant get the screen to show any characters. It turns on, but its just the blue background. The controls are still working but i’m flying blind in terms of trying to do anything with it. I did get it to home out the print head but that was it.
It did work fine before the install, and I did remove the ribbon cable but it all seems like its intact still…
Thanks,
Clif

Yup you can generally plug in the USB to your computer, and then to the board of the machine. Slicers like S3D and Cura will let you send the code directly instead of saving it to an SD card as usual.

If you go this route, make sure you have automatic updates off/ turn on “metered connection” for your WiFi if you’re using Windows 10, so an update doesn’t interrupt a print.
