Filament load problems

High-mileage Mk3S+.  Was running out of filament, so time to change it.

Unload filament (PLA) went fine.  Loading didn't.  

At first filament wouldn't feed correctly--turned out the Bondtech gears needed alignment.  

Fixed that, now the filament seems to load correctly, but it doesn't feed correctly.  Printer goes through the motions to feed, but it doesn't.  Filament end is not melted at all, still cut at a 45° angle. 

 

 Thermal calibration comes back with no errors, but my handheld temp sensor shows a temperature of no more than about 100° on the nozzle, so I'm not so sure that's accurate.   

 

I'm at a loss for next steps.  Any suggested troubleshooting actions I can take?

 

I'm wondering if there's a problem with the hoten
