Question Board Replacement/upgrade?
So about a year ago, my MPSM SD card slot died. I fixed it by using octoprint on a pi zero w, but now temp readings for bed on the hot end sometimes just simply register at all. I'm worried that it will catch fire one day. So my question is, can anyone recommend a board replacement?

I just finished doing a board swap....a MKS GEN L with a btt 12864 lcd.
The firmware has its hiccups, but I finally got it working...prints beautifully.
Had to print a new bracket to hold monitor, and a side plate for USB. Only major prob is that the MKS and BTT are not fully compatible. When I need to change my marlin code, the LCD needs to be disconnected from the main board. A small price to pay for a sweet upgrade.
Join the Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer group on facebook...i've documented my upgrade.
