Can't print from SD. Media inserted. No media.

Question

Main screen shows "Media Inserted" but when I go into the menu it tells me "No media" and won't let me select the benchy.gcode file that is on the SD Card. I have it formatted to FAT32.

Double check that you have the EXP1 and EXP2 cables correctly inserted. I think I had to turn my EXP1 around by cutting the tab off. I believe EXP1 is for the display and EXP2 is for the SD card. Don't hold me to that but when I was debugging some things with the board I had just the display plugged in via EXP1.

I had the problem that a few contacts of the cable (which I modified because of the wrong mounted connector) were not fully fixed.  As first test you can swap the two cables. If then the LCD display is not correct you know that one of the cable is defect. Then you can test pin by pin. A simple pressure at the right spot of the connector fixed the wires.
