It's crucial to power off the printer before performing any maintenance work on the printer and its electronics, including tool head wires, because leaving the printer on while conducting such tasks can cause a short circuit, which can lead to additional electronic damage and safety hazards.
When you perform maintenane or troubleshooting on the printer, you may be required to disassemble some parts, including the hotend. This process can expose wires and electrical components that could potentially short circuit if they come into contact with each other or with other metal or electronic components while the printer is still on. This can damage the electronics of the printer and cause further damage.
Therefore, it's essential to switch off the printer and disconnect it from the power source before doing any maintenance work. This will prevent any short circuits or damage to the printer's electronics. By doing so, you can avoid potential damage to the printer's electronic components and ensure that the maintenance work is performed safely and effectively.

1. Start up the printer and confirm that the screen functions well and the logo LED on the toolhead flashes when the printer is turnning on;
2. Check the sleep button function, press the sleep button, and confirm that the screen can be turned off and on.
3. Operate on the screen and click the LED icon to confirm that the chamber LED light can start up and shut down normally;
4. Check the WIFI or network connection function, search the printer on the APP or Studio software, and confirm that the liveview function is normal.
If the test fails, please check all connections again and try again. If that still doesn't work, please contact the Bambu Lab service team.
Precautions:
1. When the AP board is replaced, the step of binding the machine should be skipped when it is turned on for the first time.
Since the new SN is not activated, the printer cannot be bound to your account. You can do it once the SN is activated.
2. After confirming that the replacement is completed, the printer SN needs to be replaced. So please contact the service team and provide both the new SN and the old SN to complete the SN replacement. (Begins with 00M or 00W)
