OctoPi times out connection

Hi,

 

My OctoPi, (running on a 2gig Pi4b), has stopped working properly. It initially connects for about 2 minutes, (I timed it), and then drops. It tells me the connection is timing out. I've tried different baud rates and I've searched for answers.

And yes, I've replaced the original genuine Raspberry Pi branded power supply with another genuine Raspberry Pi power supply and and a new data cable. I've tried re-imaging the SD card. I do have two new SD cards on order. I've even tried different browsers - Firefox and Chrome.

The only difference between when it worked and when it stopped was when I did the upgrade to the Prusa firmware for my Mk3 i3S. It stopped working immediately upon the next use.

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know of a fix or work-around, (other than go back to swapping the SD card). Any tests I can run?

Strangely enough, I had to set my pi setting on the LCD panel to OFF.  I don't even know what that setting is supposed to do but a google hint told me to try off.
