    This could be a difficult one. All you can really do is start unplugging things until the machine starts working. First of all unplug the slider board from the mainboard and see if it starts up. If it does, plug it in and unplug the heads and so on. Make sure you discharge the printer every time you disconnect or reconnect anything. If you haven’t been discharging the machine when disconnecting things, that might be why your machine is doing what it’s doing.

    I have a gut feeling it’s mainboard though to be honest so fingers crossed it’s not…
