"Nothing fancy just by touching the back side of the printer where the main power switch is, but you can get really accurate by putting digital thermometer inside or outside the mainboard area. Also you can keep your printer with the back covers…"

John540 replied to John540's discussion vp 540 Disconnect"Im really happy for you!
Just be careful now the fan is unplugged high temperature maybe damage mainboard or other parts.
In my case if i see that the temperature gets too high inside mainboard i let it cool off until i send the next print…"
Melissa Prielipp replied to John540's discussion vp 540 Disconnect"I had read in several places that it can be corrected by replacing the realtek chip on the board.

John540 replied to John540's discussion vp 540 Disconnect"Until now everything works fine. I don't know until when, but this "trick" earned me some time. You have nothing to lose trying it. If it doesn't work for you just plug it back, try something new or get a new board. Good luck!

Sam replied to John540's discussion vp 540 Disconnect"Not sure about the fan deal since the disconnection seems to be ethernet related but I know when mine was doing the dreaded disconnect in the end after trying countless things the fix was replacing the main board. "
