HELP! Flashforge Creator Pro won't turn on

[Stigern]

1. Installed extruder.
2. Installed power cable.
3. Flipped switch, noting.

I've tried changing a few power cables, a few different wall sockets. nothing.

Are there something I'm missing?

Hm, when I tilted it over to a side to se if the PSU fan was running it suddenly started up. Might just be a bad connection somewhere.

The power connections on the power supply also could be loose, check those, mine were all loose when I got mine. Tighten all the screws for the wire holders.

I'll give them a check. Thanks.

and be careful.

I had a pc in for repair a few years back that worked lying flat but not standing up.
So I stood itup, went off, laid it flat started up. Did this a few times for novelty and then it blew up !
Huge spark, big bang, lots of smoke - I nearly wet myself.

Bloody psu had a loose capacitor - one of the big ones. It had been rocking on it's contact and eventually decided it had had enough and just exploded.

So just be careful :-)
Hopefully it's just a loose wire.
