PINDA not recognizing bed

So after I assembled the printer and began the wizard, during the Z calibration the PINDA fails to stop before pushing the bed down about 3 or 4 mm, then get an error that it failed to detect the bed.

First, check if the PINDA works. The indicator LED should switch if you touch the head with a screwdriver (or any other metal object). To check the connection to the board, you can navigate in the printer menu to "Support -> Sensor Info" and test again.

If it is connected correctly it might be the installation height. The PINDA should be about 1-1.5mm higher than the nozzle. See the guide.

After replacing the PINDA device it was determined that the main control board was faulty so Prusa sent out a new one.

Yes it did arrive within a few days. I installed it, reassembled the printer and everything is perfect now.
