Cricut Maker Motherboard Replacement

Introdução

The motherboard of a Cricut Maker device is the machine's control panel.

Follow this guide to fix a Cruit Maker motherboard. You may need to replace the motherboard if your device's cutter or USB port malfunctions. The power button turning red immediately after plugging in the machine may also indicate a faulty motherboard.

The motherboard and the parts surrounding it are delicate and should be handled with care.

Note: Before beginning this repair, turn off the device and unplug it from the outlet.

So do you sell the motherboard or know where it buy one for cricut cxpl301

David Washington - Responder

I too am looking for a replacement board. It was suggested to me that I could contact one of the pcb repair companies. For a fee, they will either check and repair your board or they will copy and print a new board and mail it back to you. You have to send in your board for them to check and copy though. So I guess reputation and reviews would be priority. It would suck to send our boards off and never receive a new one or the old one. :-/.

Cricut does not sell parts. Cricut does not do repairs.
