I don't have this printer, but the Ender 3 1st Gen. So here are some suggestions for things, I've noticed on mine.
Still no luck getting it to recognize the laptop or the SD card.
Here are more details....
I am using Windows 11. Updates are current. All drivers are current. The printer was not showing up in Device Manager, so I tried installing the FTDI driver as suggested. The printer still does not show up.
I am using an 8GB SD Card. This is an actual SD card, not a Micro SD with an adapter. This is the smallest SD card I have at the moment. Do I need to go even smaller? Do they still make those? :) The SD card is formatted with FAT32. I even completely reformatted it, just in case. (Full format, not quick)
The printer still says NO TF CARD after I insert it.
I am using the Creality slicer, version 4.8.2-254.
Going to Printer Info, it tells me it is:
Creality 3D 1.1.6 CR-10 V2
One thing I have noticed is that if I turn the printer off before unplugging the USB cable, it appears to be getting partial power from the USB port. The screen will flicker until I unplug the USB cable.
As always, any guidance you can give me is greatly appreciated.
