RE: Mk4 screen goes blank after some time

Well here we go...my screen went black mid-print.  I bought this MK4 about just over a month ago, fully assembled by Prusa.  I waited until the print was finished as I didn't want to mess up the print.  As quickly as possible after the print concluded I hit the reset button on the front and the screen came back to life.  We'll see what will happen.

BUT, after reading seven(7) pages of this post which date back months and months, I am curious why I was sent a brand new unit so recently that is experiencing this problem???

My printer also failed to boot, only got half way. I wriggled the flat cable connector on the lcd board and it booted up correctly, I will see how it goes, possibly a bad connection on the pcb

Hi, I had the same problem, and for me, using the printer's LAN port helped the problem.

RE: Mk4 screen goes blank after some time

I have an MK4 which we assembled just a week ago, we've been doing prints every day and all was working perfectly. Then just today the screen started going blank once a print was in progress. The prints complete 100%, but I needed to power it on / off to get the screen to come back. From one of the posts in this thread it was suggested to turn off the RGB LED in the display. I did this and for the first time today the screen is operating as normal again, and doesn't go blank during a print. This is the only change I've made, so it may be something to do with the LED function - maybe!
