I am trying to fix my school’s old mini 1, however it keeps giving the “Wrong printer detected” message. I browsed the forums and found out that the most common solution was to firmware update the printer. The CuraLE is fresh, installed just today. I do not believe the printer has been updated for 4 years. I try to connect to the console to get the extruder steps per unit, but the usb connection keeps closing because the wrong printer was detected. I cannot find the setting to override this. Is there anyway to update/print on this machine? ---

You can try downloading [Printrun](https://www.pronterface.com/). It shouldn’t complain about the printer and you should be able to get some information from the printer using commands like [M115](https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M115.html), [M503](https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M503.html), [M851](https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M851.html), etc. ---

I am unable to get Printrun to work on my Mac or Raspi 4 for a variety of reasons. Is there any other where to firmware update or run the printer? ---

Wait. I may have found the issue. My adapter is USB type 3, but my USB B cable ends in USB type 2. ---

No fix, but I have access to CuraLE console now. ---

I opened the machine up. There is literally a burnt hole through the board. I am surprised the machine even turned on. Thank you for help.
