CR10 V2 Seems functional but will not recognize SD card or PC connection (lemmy.world)

A friend of mine had a Creality CR10 V2 which he purchased some time ago. Evidently it had a bad board in it and he received a replacement but never got around to installing it.

I now have this printer and have replaced the board in it. I have tested the movement along each axis and tested the extrusion. Everything looks to me like it should be ready to go, but I haven't been able to get it to recognize when an SD card is inserted or when I have a computer connected to it.

I'm a 3d printing newbie and I'm not sure where to go from here. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Or is it the printer?

Any advice or guidance on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't have this printer, but the Ender 3 1st Gen. So here are some suggestions for things, I've noticed on mine.

NTFS doesn't work. So did you format the SD card with FAT32?
Is your SD card maybe too big and did you try smaller cards, with 4GB capacity for example?
Depending on your PC and the Mainboard of the CR10 you might need an FTDI driver to get it work. Did you check, if your OS recognises the printer in the device manager (Windows) or with lsusb (Linux)?

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been out of town. Just got back.

I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure I used FAT32. I'll have to check the size of the card, but I'm sure it is more than 4GB.

The printer was not visible to the OS. I was not familiar with FTDI, but I just looked it up and installed the driver.

Thanks for your response! I'll give it another try tonight.
