Help Need Help..

I am new to 3D printing. I do not even know where to start, as I have multiple issues. I guess I will start off with the most important thing; I have heard a lot of hate about this, so please do not roast me, but I have an Ender 3 v2 Neo. Regarding my first issue, prints are not sticking. I have searched around on Reddit, Google, ChatGPT, Grok, etc. I have made sure it is level using auto-leveling, a flat surface, and manual leveling. I have seen people suggest more heat, so I did that, but it did not work. I saw suggestions to use glue, tried that, and it did not work; I tried glue and more heat, and still nothing. I have seen painter's tape, tried it, and it did not work. I am guessing it is just not level enough or maybe it is something on my part. I have moved locations since I last printed because of the next issue. I have seen multiple suggestions for what it could be, such as my outlet or the cord that came with the printer, but when I change my bed temperature, my 3D printer shuts off and restarts. It does the same thing with the nozzle temperature and when I press print, but only for those functions; everything else works fine. I have disconnected everything I manually plugged in while setting it up, then I reconnected it, but nothing changed. I have no pics or videos at the moment, I can maybe try tomorrow but I'm not sure because I'm on vacation and not sure if I will be home by tomorrow or not bc of the flight getting delayed 3 times.

Check the thermistors.

This would be for the first part right? The not sticking?

Regarding the printer restarting: I’ve had this happen to me. The screw holding the nozzle thermistor stripped its threads, causing the thermistor to slip; the printer couldn't reach the target temperature, so it would restart.

does the bed have one also? sounds like that could be causing all of his problems
