So, I’ve had something similar happen to a creality printer, which was just the excuse I needed to bench it. I gave it to a student later, he plugged it in and it just …worked.
So my first reflex would be to tell you to unplug it and hold the power button, to empty any residual charges/memory.

That was one of my first thoughts, after a few attempts at power cycling I did the same with the printer unplugged to make sure she was empty. That’s awesome it worked for your student though; you got an excuse to buy a fun new toy, and they got a great learning tool 👍🏽

Well, there is a reason I was trying to get rid of that printer 😅. The school had two Creality CR-5S that were donated from a Chinese university. You won’t find anything about them online (except for one YouTube video describing how terrible they are). Not sure how much of a gift it was to the student.

Well… like I said. Great learning tool. They’ll spend so much time working on the printer that when something stupid happens to their next one, they’ll already know how to fix it!
