RE: PINDA Probe Light is working, but not reporting value

I never got a new motherboard only a new PINDA probe because I thought that this was the problem, although it turned out that the PINDA probe was never a problem. 
The ONLY problem was the firmware! After I rolled back to 3.9.0 everything started working again with no problem! I have done many prints since then and still everything is working great. 
No need for new motherboard
No need for new PINDA probe
Just roll back the firmware to 3.9.0

I hope I helped!

Look at your old board PINDA connector and adjacent circuit traces.

With a magnifier can you look at the solder joint for each connector pin? Do you feel movement when applying tension on the pins from the other side?

 

When I built my MK3s from the kit I remember redoing a few solder joint on the board  that I thought were on the dodgy side (I do lots of SDM electronics and have a full rework station so I am a bit anal retentive on that stuff)

REPAIR, RENEW, REUSE, RECYCLE, REBUILD, REDUCE, RECOVER, REPURPOSE, RESTORE

Thanks! I will give this a try. BTW my Pind Temp Sensor is reporting a temp.

The PINDA cables consists of four wires.

If you can see the red led on the PINDA this means 2/4 wires are OK (blue and brown)
Go to the printer menu and go support - temperatures . If you see a temperature for the PINDA then white cable is also OK (3/4 wires OK)
If you take out the PINDA probe plug from the motherboard and with a multimeter set for continuity check black cable and blue cable. Black multimeter probe on the back cable, red probe on blue cable. If you see a value on the multimeter different than 1 then the black cable is OK. (4/4 wires OK)

Let us know if you made any progress.
