Bug Description

After correctly compiling/flashing Marlin 2.0 with LCD support, the LCD won't display anything. The backlight is on (meaning it receives the correct voltage) but nothing shows up.

The buzzer emits a continuous high-pitched tone, and the "Stop" button seems to be working when pressed.

My Configurations

Motherboard: MKS SGEN L v1
LCD: MKS LCD12864 Model B
Marlin: 2.0.6.1

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Followed the instructions available on the User Manual of the SGEN L to compile the firmware with LCD Support. Tried also the configuration suggested on the product description page.
  2. Flashed the new firmware; printer works as expected, TFT also works.
  3. LCD shows a "blank screen"; no bootlogo is shown while powering up the printer.

Expected behaviour: [What you expect to happen]

I expected the LCD to show the actual Marlin Menu, or at least an image of it until I adjusted the contrast.

Actual behaviour: [What actually happens]

LCD backlight turns on, the buzzer is active emitting a constant low-frequency pitch, and nothing is shown on the screen.

Additional Information

  • Tried with both #define MKS_LCD12864 and #define MKS_MINI_12864
  • Tried both with and without TFT connected.

It seems there is a problem with the latest Marlin release.

Yes! This is a bug, but the cause has not been found yet. You can use Marlin 2.0.1 first, and it's no problem
