external spi flashw25x20cl is not responding

Well, just fired up my printer today (was working fine yesterday). Now I'm getting this message:
"External SPI flash W25X20CL is not responding. Language switch unavailable."

I don't care about the language chip. But the SD card is not working anymore. Yes I tried more than one and they all work on my computer. When I insert the SD card, it tries to read the content and show up blank and on the screen it otherwise says "No SD Card"

Tried reflashing 3.9.0, with the LCD connected and disconnected per the support page. Tried refreshing the MMU2 as well to 1.0.6.

Waiting on Prusa support now.

Yes just saw that on Reddit as well someone with same thing. Just swapped over a screen from another printer keeps doing same thing.

Should still be in warranty so into support i guess!

@ed-george

maybe you have less bad luck than @louis-s4 and the einsyboard is not defective.

Thanks @karl-herbert.

 

I did go through all the flashing routine and various bits a while ago with support to no avail but as I only needed English I didn't worry about it. I usually print from octoprint so didn't notice until I started seeing another issue and they asked me to print from SD card... And ahh seems I can't do that either!

@ed-george

At long printing times I mostly work with the SD card and not octoprint. You may have to replace the board at some point, unless Prusa sends you an add-on board.
