New to resin, gifted a non-functioning Mars C - Tiepilot1138 - 10-01-2021
Hello everyone! I am new to resin printing, and have been doing FDM for a couple years now. I was given a Mars C the other day that doesn't work. Supposedly it never worked out of the box, and had the motherboard replaced (there is a second board in the "toolbox" that came with it). I set it up this morning and turned it on, and the fan turned on. Nothing else happened. The touchscreen doesn't light or seem to react. I looked for some troubleshooting tips or disassembly videos, but this machine seems to be a ghost. It doesn't disassemble like a regular Mars. The videos I saw have screws on the sides of the base, and separate to the front and back. This model has a snap on cover on the left side revealing the motherboard, but no easy access to the touchscreen. I think I need to remove the entire top plate to get at it, but I haven't had time to try that yet. I think it's less than a year old. Does anyone have any suggestions before I start tearing it apart? Is it even worth spending time on this?
Being new to resin, I'm not sure what should happen when I turn it on. Am I right in assuming the touchscreen should light up? This is the link to what I have.
