I found this ethernet shield http://www.banggood.com/Ethernet-Shi...-p-907969.html Is it possible to use this instead of USB?

You'd have to find printer firmware which supports it... Marlin doesn't, but some others do. But, really, if it's the Arduino USB port that's busted (and it sure sounds like it) then you can find an Arduino Mega clone for around the same price.

It could be that a windows update, installation of some other software using USB, an update to your host software, or Marlin updates (if you installed any) changed some details in how USB is working.
Note that it seems the majority of people using Flashair SD cards are running Sailfish firmware on their printer. If you search for info, you'll find that it can take some effort to get them working under Marlin. Marlin accessing the SD card contents evidently disables the wifi on the card.Last edited by printbus; 06-07-2016 at 10:22 AM.

So if you jumped out of a bedroom window every day for a year and didn't break a leg then one day you did break your leg you would assume your house had grown?
That is exactly the same scenario.
I use a Flashair SD card and connect over my home network.
I am not saying your USB is not at fault in terms of functional hardware but I am saying that your conclusion is not valid based on your input data.

I had not thought about using a wireless SD card. That is an interesting way to print. Thanks.

I have not once said it will not work.
I have said that if you have problems then you may not be able to fix them and stated the reasons for that.
I have also said that even if you do not have problems it is likely that some day you will.
That, my pedantic friend is a lot more useful than "mine works so it''s OK".
If you do not like the advice then go elsewhere or ignore it, personal attacks on people do not help.

I use a Flashair on my Wanhao with Sailfish and on my laser cutter and CNC router both of which use Marlin.
I think the newer Flashair is harder though I have no experience of that just that CA can't get his to work at all.
Please explain to me how to...
