[buoyant sky]

i went and updated the firmware on it but it keeps booting, going into the language selection menu, then auto z offsetting, then turning off and repeating

AI Help

It sounds like your printer may be stuck in a boot loop. Try resetting the printer to its factory settings or reinstalling the previous firmware version. If the issue persists, there may be a hardware problem with the printer that needs to be addressed.

You need to upgrade the screen too

I believe

[buoyant sky]

how do i do this

@unique oxide

[unique oxide]

The tft files and whatnot go on a MicroSD card and that goes in the screen

[buoyant sky]

i added that

the bin and tft

[unique oxide]

Yes but did you put it in the screen itself

There is a second slot

[buoyant sky]

yeah i put the bin in there too

are you joking dude

theres 2 slots

[unique oxide]

I am not joking

[buoyant sky]

bro

where

[unique oxide]

The screen has its own firmware

[buoyant sky]

can i have both on the same one

and just put it in

[buoyant sky]

yeah i did those ones

not the other one???

[unique oxide]

That one too

[buoyant sky]

bruh

i had no idwea

welp

that would solve it

brb

okay so

do i keep that card in there all the time

the bigger one

@unique oxide

[unique oxide]

Just once to update

[buoyant sky]

okay so rn there is " 1-cat.gcode"

and a manual

so put in the bin?

[unique oxide]

Just the default files

And yeah

[buoyant sky]

so i put the bin file in with the base files

and now its just the base blue wallpaper

with nothing on it

@unique oxide

1. If the motherboard firmware is updated without updating the screen firmware, a blue screen may occur. Correct this by updating the screen firmware — always update the screen firmware first.

[buoyant sky]

not a bluescreen

its just the wallpaper

like little blue waves

and i took the card out

and now its still just the wallpaper

[unique oxide]

You did the "Transfer the folder "TJC_SET" into the TF card." For updating the screen?

[buoyant sky]

by tf card what does it mean

[unique oxide]

Sd card

[buoyant sky]

yeah i updated the screen im pretty sure

[unique oxide]

And then screen should have gone blue then said update completed?

[buoyant sky]

yeah

it went white

and said that

[unique oxide]

Sounds right

[buoyant sky]

alright so

the other one

wait the name is too long again

[unique oxide]

Yeah change that

To something short and random

[buoyant sky]

fwmboard?

that should be fine

okay its doing the auto z offset thing now

it repeated again

wait ill send a video

[unique oxide]

Admittedly I'm not sure what else to do there, given these are the right files that should work

[buoyant sky]

This is the whole process

Of what is going on

[unique oxide]

What firmware is that?

Where did you download it from?

[buoyant sky]

the offical website

[unique oxide]

What link

[buoyant sky]

https://www.creality.com/pages/download-ender-3-v3-se?spm=..page_1934481.products_display_1.1&spm_prev=..page_4968685.header_1.1

[unique oxide]

Odd... Try updating the screen again for the lulz, it's the only thing I can think might be bugged or something

It does also note to actually delete the update bin after, though that really should not matter

[buoyant sky]

okay updating screen

with the tjc file

[unique oxide]

Folder

[buoyant sky]

has to be folder?

[unique oxide]

Unzip the folder

[buoyant sky]

it is

i just put the raw file not the folder the file is in

[unique oxide]

Transfer the folder "TJC_SET" into the TF card

Is what it says

[buoyant sky]

okay

one sec

k updating again

okay updated

auto z offsetting again

still loops

@unique oxide what now

it does say in the manual there is a menu with like leveling and stuff but i havent seen that at all

Yeah so there’s this menu

I haven’t seen it at all

@unique oxide

i am losing hope

[unique oxide]

That's the reason I think something got borked with the screen update

All those menus are screen update specific

It just sends commands for you when you press the photo basically

[buoyant sky]

ok

so

what do i do

[unique oxide]

How exactly are you putting the files on the card?

For the screen

[buoyant sky]

im using the usb thing

that came with it

putting my sd card in

[unique oxide]

No no I mean folder wise

You have a folder called TJC_SET on the SD card?

[buoyant sky]

yes

[unique oxide]

Not a ZIP?

[buoyant sky]

no

[unique oxide]

And the screen goes white and says "Update completed!"?

[buoyant sky]

yes

[buoyant sky]

just like that

[unique oxide]

Doing some reading this isn't uncommon. This person here said they updated the board again and it started working

Though I am not really sure why to be honest

[buoyant sky]

the board?

so like the bigger card

also theres a little grey switch on the bigger card

what is that

nvm

i got it

this is the one for the board

not the screen

@unique oxide

[unique oxide]

Change that .bin to 123.bin

[buoyant sky]

okay

so how

[unique oxide]

Put it in your pc

[buoyant sky]

yep

now what

@unique oxide

[unique oxide]

Try updating again; sorry man this is beyond me at this point

We are following the exact directions they provide

[buoyant sky]

what do i do to the 123 bin thing

its bin

[unique oxide]

Use it to update the printer?

[buoyant sky]

i havent changed it

[unique oxide]

Like you did before using the rear slot

You rename it

[buoyant sky]

oh okay

just like fwmboard123.bin

is that good

[unique oxide]

No

123.bin

[buoyant sky]

Oh okay

Well it’s late

I’ll try tomorrow

I did try that too

Didn’t work

I thinks it’s faulty or something man

@unique oxide let me know if you have any ideas or anything

I’ll get my other buddy to check it out in person
