After not using my UM 3 for about 3 months i switched on my UM3 this morning. Directly after switching on i can hear the fan running for about a second but the printer does not switch on. 

Any suggestions?

    There are no components in the UM3 that are affected by time, i.e. no batteries or such components.
    Is it possible a connector came loose? Was the printer moved around during those 3 months?

    I left the printer clean and switched off. Neither moved nor any other mechanical issue. 

    I will try to open it to check all connections.

    Did you check the wire connection to the print head? I have add similar problems and invariably reseating that connection solves it.  You have to undo the two bolts on the top of the print head to get at it.

    Solved. New Olimex Board and runs as before.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
