Check the 2 ribbon cables. You may have them swapped or one may be inserted backwards.
If that doesn't help then contact your reseller for help.

Hello,
I have the exact same situation. Did you get to solve it after all?
Thank you
Hey, No I never did. I put it aside and started another ongoing project. If it's still on warranty you could get a new one sent out. Mine isn't. But if you do I'd love to know the outcome before I shell out 200plus for the new controller.
I managed to get it fixed. It seems that there is no firmware installed by default on the controller, so the first time it boots it looks like this. You need to connect it to Cura over USB, and there use the Upgrade Firmware button on the Manage Printers screen. The printer would say "not connected", but the firmware did install and then it booted correctly.
Once you have the firmware on, make sure the EXT1 and EXT2 cables match what's on the board, I messed around with them trying to get it fixed and at first it looked exactly like before, all blocks. But when I put them in the correct position, it loaded up the text UI.
Hope this helps.
Brilliant. Thanks a lot for sharing. I know for a fact the ext1 and ext2 cables match as I messed around with them as well. Cool. I'll get right on to that. Best of luck and happy printing

UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,
In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!-

Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,
The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
So what’s new?
The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more
Curious to see the S7 in action?
We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

Cura Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄
MariMakes posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,
Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.-

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Which Ultimaker printer do you have? If it is an UM2, then take the SD card out and power up again. Does it help? If yes, it could be a malformed MATERIAL.TXT file.
The next idea is highly unlikely, but if you can, try it anyway. If you have another power cable, use that.
