Pinda Probe broke while Print???

Hello,
I printed the last 31h a big Projekt. It finished this night and I switched off the prusa mk2.

Today I try to print a new file, and it checks the first and second magnet, and at the third it failed with an error about a broken Pineda or wirebrake. I attached a video to this post.

Can someone tell me, what happend? How should the probe broke down when it checks the first 2 points?

And a wire break after 250h complete printer use ?

Regards Tim

I can't upload a mic from my phone, so I uploaded it outside of the board:

I have 2 new videos for you.
The first one shows you, that the probe can´t find the Point, but it will work if i place a spatula below the sensor.
The second one shows you an error in firmware 3.0.11. After starting the xyz calibration, the extruder will not move down to the base plate.

Hi tim. It is likely that the pinda probe cable has fractured in the cable bundle behind the x axis.

The pinda is only used when homing the z axis. And setting the z height.

Use the endstop test option in the lcd menu. With the extryder say 10mm above the builf plate. slide the extruder from left to right and back.
The display should not change
If ot does. Then there os a fracture in one of the pinda wires.

Regards joan
