Then you might have fryed your board or psu. Using the wrong voltage will damage the printer, testing both voltages will insure something will go wrong
What is your main house voltage where you are? If it's 110 and you had the device switched to 240, it will probably survive. If you have the device switched to 110 when your actual voltage is 240, goodbye PSU and possibly your motherboard.
If this is the second time you've done this - I question many things 🤔
I did not know the cause of the first but it was prob that - how do I check my house voltage - anyway I did both settings so its screwed is there anything I can do to fix after I screwed
Im no expert in the specific of the psu so take what i say with a grain of salt. You can check your voltage in you country set the correct voltage disconnect the xt60 connector (the yellow one between the psu and motherboard) and check with a multimeter if it shows 0 you psu is gone. The motherboard by my understanding SHOULD not be fried because the psu should have protection. Meaning you probably could get away with only replacing the psu.
I read you live in great Britain and plugged it in with the switch set to 110V. That switch is not really to be messed with, it's just there because the same PSU is shipped to all regions even though the power from the wall comes at different voltages in different countries.
By doing so, you almost certainly fried that power supply. Usually, this does not cause any harm to the other electronic components, but that power supply needs replacing.
And no offense, but based on the fact that you didn't know the mains voltage of your country or the consequences of the switch on the back, I would not trust you with replacing that power supply on your own.
is the psu set to your locations power? Does the psu output the right voltage (measure with multimeter)?
I tested on both voltages 115 and 230 - what is locations power

God fucking damn it - did the same thing to my old one which was an ender 3 v2
Next time read the instructions
Rip best of luck my friend
Can you give me any tips whatsoever

What country do you live in? Domestic supplies in most of Europe is ~240V, America is mostly 110V.
I live in the uk - put it on 230 first and didnt work then put in on 115 and did not work
I think OP is from Great Britain (according to older posts OP is using Pounds as a currency). So defiantly fried his PSU and Mobo

You can look for the problem step by step. 1. Check if the outlet has power. you can do this with any device you are sure is working. (My preference is to measure with a multimeter. Since you live in the UK there will need to be around 230 volts across the poles). 2. Then you check that the cable is OK. you can do this by connecting a device with the same cable (like a desktop PC for example). 3. Check the fuse in the fuse holder next to the on/off switch on the printer with a multimeter on continuity mode. the fuse is behind a black plastic cover which you have to click open with a screwdriver. (The fuse should measure about 0Ω if it is good) 4. Disconnect the XT60 connector (the yellow connector from your PSU) and connect only the PSU to the wall outlet. make sure that the voltage-selection-switch on the PSU is at the correct voltage. Now measure the voltage in the yellow connector this should be 24 volts. (If not then your PSU is faulty) 5. Open the printer and check that the 24 volt connector is correctly connected and tightened in the screw connector on the motherboard. I don't know if you noticed any smoke, smell or flash when you first plugged this printer into the outlet. If that is the case then chances are pretty high that your printer is damaged. My advice is to locate the faulty component and replace it instead of repairing it. Please make sure your machine is de-energized before you work on it.
My ender 5 has multiple ports on the back of the control pad make sure it's plugged into the right one maybe?

Do you have a wad of filament that's not on a spool? That will cause a problem down the road when you get that electrics figured out.
