Question HPFB750

[dasigndr]

My HPFB750 decides to shut down and/or restart whenever it wants.
Any idea why this would happen?

 

[greysquirrel]

maybe old lamps? never saw one just shut down unless during a print where it could be power related, communication between the head board/lvds cable/main board

 

[dasigndr]

what would the lamps have to do with that?

they are fairly new.

Our 700 does the same thing, would also be curious to know if anyone has input. I always assumed the power supply was going or something like that. Ours will go through spurts where it happens a lot then won’t do it for months.

You can dig through the logs to see if there's a reason behind the shutdown command. Otherwise I would first try throwing a fresh install on a fresh hard drive if I were shotgunning parts at it.

Our 550 gets an error saying the LCD touch screen lost communication and all you can do is reboot it. Never actually seen it happen while running the machine - it’s always overnight and then I come in the next morning to the sound of the cooling fans for the lamps running. Which is weird since the machine has been idle for many hours by that time, but I guess that’s a failsafe if it loses its mind and can’t tell whether the lamps are on.
