Marlin 2.0 LCD12864B - Blank Screen, only backlight
NeoMod opened this issue · 3 comments
Bug Description
After correctly compiling/flashing Marlin 2.0 with LCD support, the LCD won't display anything. The backlight is on (meaning it receives the correct voltage) but nothing shows up.
The buzzer emits a continuous high-pitched tone, and the "Stop" button seems to be working when pressed.
My Configurations
Motherboard: MKS SGEN L v1
LCD: MKS LCD12864 Model B
Marlin: 2.0.6.1
Steps to Reproduce
- Followed the instructions available on the User Manual of the SGEN L to compile the firmware with LCD Support. Tried also the configuration suggested on the product description page.
- Flashed the new firmware; printer works as expected, TFT also works.
- LCD shows a "blank screen"; no bootlogo is shown while powering up the printer.
Expected behaviour: [What you expect to happen]
I expected the LCD to show the actual Marlin Menu, or at least an image of it until I adjusted the contrast.
Actual behaviour: [What actually happens]
LCD backlight turns on, the buzzer is active emitting a constant low-frequency pitch, and nothing is shown on the screen.
Additional Information
- Tried with both #define MKS_LCD12864 and #define MKS_MINI_12864
- Tried both with and without TFT connected.
Edit: I just noticed this reply from MKS in the Marlin Repository BUG Tracker.

It seems there is a problem with the latest Marlin release.
Yes! This is a bug, but the cause has not been found yet. You can use Marlin 2.0.1 first, and it's no problem
@NeoMod The latest marlin bugfix-2.0.x has fix it, you can download it and update.
