    Problem after upgrade. That worked but then Chitubox went to 1.9 and the machine will not read the new format. used the updated firm where and now it prints long lines and nothing else. I used the LD002r upgrade. should I use the 002H because I upgraded the screen?

  2. Derek says:

    There are five files in the provided firmware .rar, but no indication which ones I’m supposed to use. Your instructions say the cbd and sh4 files. Well, I don’t see an sh4 file. Then it says all I need to flash is the 3.5″ .bin file. I’ve been looking all over and no one seems to definitively cover which firmware files you’re supposed to flash for the 2R model. So, I get the 3.5″ file for the screen size, but do I flash the .cbd file and the .LCD file as well? Or just the .bin?

    I’m having an issue with what I assume is the firmware. The lights below the screen are simply flashing and causing issues with prints by curing extra. However when reinstall the 5.5 firmware the flashing stops and it the exposure test looks fine but i can’t print with it because of the size format. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? i’m at my wits end with this and I have orders to fulfill.

    DOES NOT WORK. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
    Bought the screen, made the upgrade as it was saied, and doesn’t show the calibration picture nor is as transparent as the original. complete waste of time and money. Worst than that, the original screen cracked as it was removed, so, now I have a big paper weight.
