Topic: Flicker and Failed Mid Print - SD3 Fails to Boot

Background:
Recently purchased a SD3. First few test prints failed to stick to bed. Increased heat to 200*C, everything was working smoothly.

Problem:
40 Minutes in, SD3 Display lights begin to flicker, extruder stops moving. I disconnected the printer and removed the printed piece from the bed. Now the printer will not turn on. Printer fails to turn on aesthetic LED lights. LED on circuit board does show up. Printer unresponsive on all COM ports.

Anyone have a solution? I've checked online but haven't found a matching scenario where the printer fails to boot. Hopefully this is not a faulty printer...

EDIT: The printer is up and running. I completed drained the power and rebooted. However, now the print bed vibrates. This may be because I suspect the bed is unbalanced. Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

Sounds like you may have a bad power supply or bad connection from the power supply to the main board on the back of the printer.
