Thanks brotha 😬. I had no intention of making the video but after how complex it was I had to. Really hope it helps others since most will at one point or another need to replace the lcd screen.
Just wanna say a huge thank you from us over here at Fifth Dimension Minis, after a half hour frustrated watching the factory video on replacing the motherboard, I found this video.Turns out this video doubles as a perfect video for replacing your motherboard as well, as it’s a very similar process. Can’t thank you enough for this one 🙏🏻
Thank you! The 'I locked the ribbon backwards' tip was what ended up saving me! Prompted me to go check the old ribbon, and found I'd done it backwards where it meets the screen - the opposite end to what you had!
I was waiti8ng for you to finish to see if you mentioned the LCD cable going in upside down as I did the same thing. If you look closely at the ribbon cable one side of the plug end has a black tape over it and the other side has bare, silver connectors. The side with the black tape goes UP opposite the circuit board. If you put it in upside down the black tape will not allow the conductors to touch the pins on the plug... probably a good thing as it probably would damage some circuitry. Also, make sure to plug the Z axis stop into the correct socket on the mainboard. there are two sockets, side by side. My machine did not stop going down so i have to open it up and move it to the other plug. Pretty sure I go it into the wrong one! Fortunately I tested it with the build plate removed so I did not damage my new screen! One more thing; on mine the LCD screen cable had to plug in on both the board AND on the LCD panel so make sure it is oriented correctly there as well. To date my machine is still down. I have an early Saturn and have had to contact Elegoo support to find the right drivers for it.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I am going to be attempting to replace my screen this coming weekend on my Saturn 3 Ultra. This added so many little tidbits that weren't in the short Elegoo video. It just gives me a better idea of what to expect going in. Even the fact of trying to find out which screen my new one is before I even start putting it in.
First thing I did when I got my resin printer was to purchase an iPad Screen Protector and cover the printer's LCD screen with it - sealing the edges with Kapton Tape. Have not had any issues with my screen yet.
I love you so much right now. I was having an entirely separate problem with my Z-Axis and this video fixed it for me. I was able to see the correct orientation of the Z-Axis motor and that was my error.
Thank you, It worked for me... This one was a lot harder than my Phrozen mini 4kd... After I ugraded the firmware I need to figure out the ribbon cable rigth positon for both, board and screen sides. After many tries it worked. I was worried about a posible damage to the new LCD but after watching yor video I knew where the problem was.
Just ordered a Saturn S, my first resin printer. Been watching videos on "need to know" items. I think this one will eventually come in handy! Thanks! Edit: I might just order a spare FEP and screen to have on-hand. Would beat waiting for a replacement if one or the other or both fails.
I came here to find the right procedure. It's pretty amazing that the EXACT same thing happened to my Saturn S. I thought I had all the resin out and when I went to print a new print the old resin punched through the few film and broke the LCD.
quote " I thought I had all the resin out and when I went to print a new print the old resin punched through the few film and broke the LCD." SO if you used the Option CLEAN Resin tank or whatever is called , that ULTRA violet light illuminate the left overs of resin in your tank ,to get it Hard and then remote it more easily , then no accident would have happened?
did you also have to dowload the firmware from the "saturn" tab to match the screen? i tried to download the file from the Saturn S tab and it didnt work but theres warnings in the text to use the firmware that fits your printer otherwise it could cause damage so im scared to follow the specifications exactly like the video since i have a saturn S and not a saturn.
Thank you for the guide, in my case - it was the ribbon incorrectly has the black side against the board. i flipped it based on some of your observations, and it worked!
Great video. Have not have to replace either one on my Saturn or Mars 2 but am going to buy one for each for if and when they do go bad. Thank you for the info
Hi, thank you for a helpful video. I have one question (because I don't have experience in the 3D printer field): I just need a digital mask and its controller for UV exposure purposes (I already have the light source), so is there any commercial package for that? and/or how to buy these components?
Which direction has to get the the cable onto the board… I have the same like you and would afford to do the same mistake. Would be great if you could mention this next time 😅😬. Thank you
Hello. I have a Saturn S, but can’t find a replacement screen for the S specifically. Would this replacement work on mine? Same question for build tank.
I just got a replacement LCD screen for my Elegoo Saturn, and I was wondering, should the screen be replaced if there's a dim light when using exposure or tank clean?
Just finished installing my new screen. The ribbon cable has the same number as the screen that was on previously. I don't have the rectangle when testing exposure. I flipped the ribbon cable and I'm getting the same result. Did I get a bad screen or am I missing something?
Day two with the Elegoo Mars 3 and I'm already replacing my second FEP film. Just had my first FEP puncture, and I think it's because I over-tensioned it during replacement. Inspecting the print surface, I had printed nothing- and I had maybe a dime's worth of hardened resin in the vat.
Thanks for the guide. Don't have to do it yet but still helpful i remember back in the anycubic photon days i had a a hole in the vat left and left resin on it for few days since i had a black enclosure i didnt see when resin leaked all over the printer and got in-between the screen. Had to replace it :(
Great video, i have a question regarding installing firmware. I was told that it wont install if you put it in a folder and has to be direct. thoughts?
Thanks for going ahead and making this video for us to go ahead and watch it to be able to go ahead and change our screens if the screen does go ahead and get damaged when something does go ahead and go wrong. I went ahead and smashed the like button and I will be going ahead subscribe to your channel because you do go ahead and give really good information. Haha. Im just kidding buddo. Thanks for the video😜😁😁😁
Commenting here out of desperation. I have a Voxelab Proxima 6.0 2K mono. I assume the firmware procedure is the same, but when I go to "print" the firmware, the file does not ap[pear. I am out of ideas and have searched everywhre. Any suggestions?
I replaced the screen! Your video was great. Exposure test and screen worked fine the day and I put it in but the very next day only half the screen is working????
When you say you "installed the ribbon cable backwards" Does the @10:00 mark show you installing it the correct way or the incorrect way? That is; the 50 pin closest to the side panel - is that correct?
Thank you for the video. I almost this thing working but when I try to install the firmware it stops at about 80% and the confirm button comes on and tells me to restart the printer. So I do and then I run the exposure test. The screen is completely filled and the box doesn't come on. I checked the cables and they are install in the correct position. HELP
Good video as always, I am planning on purchasing a Saturn in the future. I then looked at your '3d printing blog' , unfortunately it is a link to a scam site that gets your email ( 'for its marketing services) and pushes you into one of those 'Make 10 purchase's ' and we give you a prize. I don't know if this was your intention or somebody hijacked you blog site, but it was unappreciated.
Ever since purchase the black tape has been suspect and eventually let go to allow resin into the printer case. And even when I replaced my LCD screen the new black tape is horrible and does not stick even after cleaning the recess which it would be stuck into. I need to locate new tape once I get a new Motherboard. During ribbon cable removal the cable latch broke off during flip up, and now the ribbon stopped connecting.
i have sla resin that has leaking onto the light and pcb, still works...trying to replace my screen right now... how would you suggest i clean the rest?
Great video, In relation to having to upgrade the Firmware I ran into issues, turns out I had to Format the USB in a Windows machine, I did it previously on a Mac (FAT32) and never worked.
Okay so, overall quality and usability and longevity, Elegoo Anycubic or Creality for a resin printer? To make it easier, just pick the closest model each of the three has to the others so it's just one model from each company. I want to get one and I've narrowed my search down to one of these three companies.
Great video, bought my first resin printer yesterday so keep these videos coming. $99 Voxelab Proxima. So you took off that screen protector, is that simply because of the white bit, or is there a good reason to not have a screen protector on a resin printer? I was kind of thinking a screen protector from a tablet sounded like a good idea, one of the thin ones similar to the one you peeled off.
Some do keep it on and I have kept it on in some instances. For this I was really going by what elegoo recommended in their video. If there are no bubbles it shouldn’t be an issue to leave it on. That being said I have not done any tests to see if the extra film causes any sort of distortion on the print. It does not as far as I know.
@@jon9947 AFAIK you'll need to increase the exposure time so it can "significantly" increase print times as a result.. hence why they tell you to remove it as speed is a key selling point. So yeah +15-20 mins per 1000 layers is probably fine for most people if each layer is +1 second exposure.
This video was incredibly useful. I managed to replace the screen no problem, thank you. But the firmware.... no matter what I do I can't get that rectangle!
do you really need to remove the screen protector? I have screen protectors i bought from third party to prevent those nasty resin spills (exactly like the one you changed the lcd because of) that work amazingly. Maybe just remove the tab from the screen protector and leave it on?

I assume it's only if you touch the glass part, not the plastic part but I would be paranoid anyway. I have some experience with that, oddly enough not with my printer but with my projection TVs. Over the years I've replaced bulbs 6 times, 2 barehanded and 4 with cotton gloves. The first time I realized I briefly touched the glass with my bare finger but I went ahead anyway (what else could I do), bulb life 6 months. Next one with cotton gloves, 12 months! The third I didn't have gloves but I was extremely careful I didn't touch anything glass. That lasted 6 months only - I must have touched something and not realized it. The next 4 bulb changes, all with cotton gloves (the last one is still in), bulb life 12-13 months. That made me a believer!

@@mikebare3677 Yes the oil on your hands can leave deposits on glass envelope of a halogen bulb and the extreme heat on that glass will cause that spot to become a weak area and it can fail.

Thank you, nice and clean explanation
instead of triple checking or empty the vat, you can run the clean option and peal the cured resin in the bottom, that will save you time and paper.
You are a rockstar! Thx so much for this!!!!!!
Hello. I have a Saturn S, but can’t find a replacement screen for the S specifically. Would this replacement work on mine? Same question for build tank.
