PINDA Failure Mode i3 Mk3S
I am thinking that a failed PINDA will not have the LED showing. The PINDA status on the LED display remains (0) with or without a metal object under it, but the LED is ON. Is that a normal failure mode?

Hi Ian,
the Pinda has 3 or 4 wires.
they are
5volts,
Ground,
Signal and
thermistor (If Fitted)
In use the Pinda wires are constantly flexing, this can cause metal fatigue and early failure.
if the signal wire breaks the light will flash but the controller will not see the signal.
I have repaired mine in the past...
