Received and old Prusa. Can't find model
As mentioned, I got a free Prusa Printer. It looks to be an I3, but that's as far as I can get. If it helps, it has a clear Plexiglas body.
The board shorted out, when a plastic piece holding the Z axis sensor broke, and made metal contact. I ordered a new one. I tried following the wiring as it came off of the other board. The board lit up, but all I got "white" lines across. I tried plugging it into my laptop that has prusa slicer. I reran the configuration setup, but Nothing happened. ...that's as far as I've gotten.
I've tried to look up the wiring schematics, but it's showing a board with 3 fuses, and I have an Arduino Mega 2560 R3, SO I'm airring on the side of caution on what to do next.
Disclaimer ... I'm a total NOOB to this, and this is my 1st time, so be gentle.

I personally don't have an answer, but posting a few (or several) photos might help someone here to help you.

By the sound of it it's a mk2 2s or 2s+ picture need to confirm when printer pluged in to computer and is turned on and board lit up go to prusa slicer configuration menu update firmware and see if it find printer

RE: Received and old Prusa. Can't find model
Also are you saying the main board is Arduino mega because that means reprap or original i3 we really need pictures of main board and printer

'all white lines' means, usually, that the display contrast is wrong. There should be a small trimmer next to the LCD, which you can turn with a (small) screwdriver.
The Wikipedia page for the i3 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prusa_i3 ) has images for most of the revisions so maybe it helps to find out what you have.
