UM3 hung at startup

[JohnInOttawa 104]

Good afternoon everyone.  I am pretty sure I read something about this here, but at the moment cannot for the life of me find it.

 

Today for the first time, I switched on my printer, the startup appears normal until I get to the 'Ultimaker' displaying on the screen, and then nothing further.  It has been quite a while with no changes.  I have not intentionally asked for a firmware update, so am at a loss.

 

Suggestions welcome.

Found the excellent thread on how to recover a bricked UM3.  Back in business. 

 

Unsure what tripped this thing up, I hadn't touched anything in a while, but better now.

 

Great forum, this!

It is always terrible when such things happen, but great that you were able to solve it quickly!

It was a good learning experience, once I found the thread.  Had a moment of looking for a micro SD card, but then, pretty much worked as advertised.  I may go ahead and look for the patch cable that the other thread mentions, just in case I am not so luck next time.

Perhaps you can add a link to the post you found that helped you, in case someone stumbles upon this thread with a similar issue 🙂 Thanks!

Sure!  Not entirely sure I'll get this right, but here's the link.
