Re: [MakerBot] Makerbot dead or in a coma

[Andrew Plumb]

Make sure you unplug everything, including the USB cable from your computer, to make sure there is no power supplied to the system.

If that doesn't wake the machine, best ping sup...@makerbot.com directly for this one.

Hey everyone.

I recently bought my makerbot replicator in June and have since only printed out maybe 15 items. I left a print on over night and came in the next morning to an unfinished print. I thought there was something wrong with my file but turns out my makerbot replicator is either dead or in a coma like state. I can hear the power and things but nothing else happens. Below is a picture of replicator with the power button on. Usually it'll blink and glow red. now it does nothing. The second picture is the unfinished print. Can anyone help?

Thomas,

Contact Makerbot support.  This is likely a known hardware issue.  But known or unknown, they're going to be able to assist you better.

Thanks Martin, 

I have already notify makerbot with the problem and is now waiting for a reply.

Is the light on the external power supply lit? If it is unplug it from
the Replicator and plug it back in again. Does it work now? If not
wait for Makerbot.

Take the panel off covering the Motherboard, and see if the 5V
regulator has blown.
