Unboxing and Assembly

Assembling the Printer and getting to the Bootscreen on the LCD Panel took some 3 hours including documenting this with a camera and looking for ways to solve detail problems.

The first 1-2 hours went smooth unpacking and following the three different videos below. The videos mostly do not show some important details like

  1. selecting the correct screws
  2. attaching the display cable correctly

After two hours I contacted support since the display didn't work correctly. I then figured it out my self. I had to detach the display from its metal mount to get better access to the connector to fit the cable properly aligned. In my opion the cable is just

  • a bit too short
  • a bit too flimsy
  • and the connection is not properly documented

Dear Geeetech support,
after assembling the device see http://wiki.bitplan.com/index.php/Geeetech_A10
the display only has lit backlight but does not show any characters.
Please advise.

I am looking forward to your response.

Cheers
  Wolfgang
