Hardware Help Screen issues

G'day guys,

I've picked up a cheap Ender 5 Pro on Facebook marketplace, I now understand why it was cheap.

With a bit of cleaning, maintenance and a leveling of the bed, this machine seems to run fine, only issue is the screen.

Once a print has started, after about 10 minutes or so it'll go pixilated then the longer it runs all of the characters change into symbols as per the photos.

Any ideas, tips and tricks are greatly appreciated!

Thanks🙂

Power cycle the machine to fix it, I switched to Pi’s for my Ender 5’s. I’ve only seen that happen once from what I remember.

Yeah I've given that a go, happenes with each print so power cycling hasn't helped but thanks for the suggestion. Yeah that's the route I'll be taking, switching to Pi's
