A 22 IDEX that will not start usually points to either (1) an open (blown) fuse preventing mains power from reaching the electronics, or (2) a corrupted micro‑SD card that holds the firmware and file system the controller needs to boot.
This guide walks you through diagnosing both scenarios, replacing or resetting what’s needed, and getting the printer back online.
Purpose | Item |
---|---|
Electrical checks | Multimeter with continuity/beep mode |
Fuse replacement | 15A fuses (×2) |
SD‑card work | Micro‑SD card reader & computer with Internet access |
Firmware | Download links provided below |
Misc. | Needle‑nose pliers or fuse puller, anti‑static wrist strap (recommended) |
Safety: Always disconnect mains power and wait at least 60 seconds before opening the electronics bay. Capacitors can hold charge briefly after unplugging.
If you eject the printer’s micro‑SD card and on the micro‑SD card see no files or only random characters, the file system is corrupted and the controller cannot boot.
Tip: Create a backup folder!
