    The screen shot came out too small to be readable. I do question some of the configuration.h settings in your firmware zip file. You have motherboard type 33 set up, and later these definitions -

    #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 -1
    #define TEMP_SENSOR_1 -1
    #define TEMP_SENSOR_2 0
    #define TEMP_SENSOR_BED 0

    The -1 on TEMP_SENSOR_0 says the hot end is measured through an AD595 chip. Is that true? If not, change the -1 to the value for the thermistor your hot end supposedly uses. There's a table in the configuration.h file with values; repraps are usually set for a value of 1.

    Motherboard type 33 means there's only one extruder, so TEMP_SENSOR_1 should be set to 0.

    If your printer has a heated bed, TEMP_SENSOR_BED should be changed to the value for the thermistor used on the bed. Again, repraps are usually thermistor type 1, but it depends on what the manufacturer used on your heat bed.

    Lack of an SD card shouldn't be a problem. I run Marlin that way all the time. Although dacb's fork has the auto leveling capability, it is something that is easily disabled in the configuration.h file. As best I can tell, an I3 printer is just a mechanically improved version of the I2, and the I3V uses a v-rail instead of the linear rods and bearings. Stepper motors and belts are still used in the same places. My point was that starting with something like the MakerFarm build would likely get you closer to a working version of reprap prusa firmware with RAMPS/LCD/SD than a fresh download from the Marlin source. Would you be able to use it exactly as is? Maybe not. Differences in gear ratios and threaded Z rods might lead to some tweaking. And I haven't looked at your LCD panel to see if it's different.

    Just as an interesting technical tidbit... If you are running an Auto Bed Leveling version of the firmware... You should be able to use it on a non-Auto Bed Leveling platform. You just don't do a G29 to generate a correction matrix. So what I'm saying is... You could use the fork without turning off the Auto Bed Leveling.
