build plate not heating up

Greetings

 

New to the forum so please bear with.  I have a 2+ extended.  It has been working ok up until now for what I've been doing.  however, it's developed a problem which I don't know how to overcome.  The build plate basically stopped heating up. 

The 1st time it did it, it threw up an error code of ER02, and told me to investigate.  I checked the wires were screwed in to the plate properly.  Then I tried again.

: No error but the plate still didn't warm up.  When I go to advanced and select heat build plate.  The screen says what the temp is, slash, what you want it to be be, right!  The temp reads 78 degrees, and when I wind knob to 100 degrees, it warms up to a tepidness and I can rest my hand on it.   So that's wrong for a start.

: Swapped temp plugs over.  now temp reads 19, on the left, but doesn't get any higher, and on the right, I can wind it up all the way and the plate gets hot.

: The nozzle doesn't get hot however, and reads like when plate  is plugged in to that part of the board, reading 70-80 something when it's normal room temp and not getting hot when I ask it to.

 

So, is my main board knackered?  I ask because it all points to that temp sensor socket for the plate.  Not a big electronic whiz, but I can get by with basic stuff.  if it's the board, do I have to install firmware upon fitting a new one?   I genuinely don't know.  Any help is massively appreciated.

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
