-===Problem:===ย +
-The filament sensor on these printers is often plugged in wrongly into the front LCD. This causes a loud continuous beeping sound when you try to print. The printer is thinking filament has run out, and is preventing printing from proceeding.ย +
-ย +
-===Solution:===ย +
-Unplug the two wire cable sticking out of the LCD module. You can access this cable from underneath the printer, through the cavity, or by opening up the main chassis. Most likely it is plugged in incorrectly from the factory, or has come loose during shipping. Even if it is plugged in correctly, the connector that JGAurora has used can short circuit with the neighbouring pins causing this error. The two wire cable is NOT polarity sensitive, as it goes to a simple mechanical switch that detects when filament is inserted.ย +
