    Heat Bed Not Recognized?

    Finally got my Rapide Lite hooked up and running. All functions work, but Repetier is not recognizing it has a heat bed. Anyone else have this problem? Is it more likely to be a firmware problem where the bed is disabled or do I need to pull it apart to check the wiring?

    Back in the early days, a couple people reported the bed wire connections to the board came loose during shipping. Wouldn't hurt to take the bottom cover off and take a look. There are some pics in this forum somewhere.

    I don't have much experience with Repetier but I don't remember seeing anything about 'recognizing' the heat bed.
    Do you mean the temperature sensor?
    What does it say in the connection logs when you connect to the printer, does it show any errors?

    Looks like all connections are good. Pulled off the heat bed and the bulb for the thermistor is smashed - anyone know what thermistor I need to replace it?
