The LCD standard UI will not function. This is expected. With the stock LCD firmware Marlin can only be controlled from a host over USB. + +## Marlin DGUS UI "Reloaded" Instructions + +The Ender-5 stock LCD can optionally use a customized Marlin DGUS interface. To use `DGUS_LCD_UI RELOADED` the stock LCD must be flashed with custom firmware. + +### Get the DWIN_SET + +- Download the `DWIN_SET` archive from https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Configurations/raw/bugfix-2.1.x/config/examples/Creality/Ender-5%20Plus/DGUS-Reloaded/DWIN_SET.tar.gz +- Extract the contents of the archive. You should now have a folder called `DWIN_SET`. + +### Prepare the SD Card + +- Format a Micro-SD card, selecting FAT32 for the file system and 4096 bytes sector size. These parameters are required for the procedure to work. +- Copy the `DWIN_SET` folder to the root of the Micro-SD card. +- Unmount and unplug your Micro-SD card. + +### Flash the touchscreen + +- Turn off and unplug your printer (both power and USB). +- You will need to access the Micro-SD slot on the back of the touchscreen (not the one that may be on your mainboard). If necessary, open the printer to access this slot. +- Insert the Micro-SD card into the screen SD slot. +- Plug the printer's power cable back in (but not the USB cable) and turn on the printer. +- After a few seconds the screen background will turn blue and the firmware flash will begin. _Do not cut power to the printer while the procedure is running!_ +- When the procedure ends the screen will display a blue background with an END message on the first line and a summary. +- Turn off the printer. Remove the Micro-SD card from the touchscreen. Reassemble the printer if needed. +- The touch-screen firmware is now up-to-date. + +## Restoring Factory Firmware + +The original firmware can be restored by downloading the [Ender-5 Plus firmware](//www.creality.com/download) from Creality. You can follow the same LCD flashing procedure using the Creality-provided `DWIN_SET` folder.
