Topic: Black Bars on LCD But Still Prints Fine

So i have Black bars on the LCD and at first i thought it bricked.  Then when i went into the app it said it was connected fine.  I haven't done any updates. so i decided to try and print and it prints like any other day.  any ideas why the LCD is showing black bars but the printer works fine?

Re: Black Bars on LCD But Still Prints Fine

LCD cable maybe loose. LCD show black bar when power supply to LCD is present but not getting data from main board. usually firmware missing or power to no power to main board due to burned fuse is the cause of black bar. If it prints fine, it can be problematic firmware or loose LCD cable. (Don't play with LCD cable with printer power on, unplug the printer before doing anything on main board)
