¶ What it is
HMS_0C00_0100_0002_0002: Micro Lidar camera is malfunctioning
The Micro Lidar camera is malfunctioning and can't get any valid images. The possible causes include, with probability from high to low:
- USB-C cable is broken, or the connection is unstable (image data flows in this cable)
- the camera-to-TH connector is unstable (image data flows from this connector)
- the TH board is broken
- the camera is broken
Note that the cables are torn gradually, meaning that at the beginning, the error only occurs occasionally, and the Micro Lidar function is not hampered too much.
¶ Safety warning and Machine state before starting operation
When you perform maintenance or troubleshooting on the printer, you may be required to disassemble some parts. This process can expose wires and electrical components that could potentially short circuits 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. Always turn off the printer and remove the power cable when performing any operation.
¶ Operation guide
¶ 1. Reboot and re-print
Reboot the printer and start printing several times and see if the message is consistently reported. If after rebooting the message disappears, it can be ignored. Otherwise, go to the following steps.
¶ 2. Unplug and then plug in USB-C cable
Power off the printer. Unplug and then plug in the type-c cable. Restart a print job and see if the message disappears. If yes, the problem is solved.
