i3MK3s Assembled HotEnd - NEED

So I'm getting the Err: MINTEMP upon boot up of my i3MK3s.  I believe this is due to a short in the thermistor wire where it connects to the hotend extruder block (it's a super long story).  I cannot get beyond this error and visual inspection makes me think I cannot *fix* it so I need to replace the hotend assembly.  The Prusa parts store shows "Out of Stock" for the assembled hotend.  Any suggestions for an alternate purchase location for this assembled component?

printedsolid.com seems to have both the thermistor and complete hotend assemblies in store.

RE:

If Prusa is out of stock, I typically keep a couple backups from TriangleLab on AliExpress.  I think their stuff is top shelf.  Printedsolid is great also, as is filastruder.

 

I prefer the thermistor from Triangle Lab because the end has a spring relief, so it's easy to install and looks great.  Never had one fail either.  Of note:  The connector is different, but I have the tools to put on a dupont.  You could just splice also.  Pretty easy to do.
