Topic: Long time no print

So it’s been 5 years since I’ve turned on my printer. I replaced the hot end with a new one that can handle higher temp. Problem no matter what I do I can’t update the firmware. At some  point I loaned my printer out and apparently the USB port broke off the main board. So the person who borrowed it repaired it with a USB adapter board. I can print but not hot enough to get good layers. I want to buy a new board but I have been out of the game for so long I don’t know where to go. To be hi it’s I would rather pay to have this thing serviced and rehabbed but the company appears to have gone under. It’s been a while for me as I said.

Any help is appreciated if you happen to live in the New Jersey area I’m willing to pay for support.
