Pinda is dead, maybe?

2 days ago I decided to update my printer to latest firmware. At first, for two printings I wasn't there to check, I just started the printing and then left. Then I noticed that when printing starts, sometimes probe is goes too much. Now, pinda's light is newer on. But when I try 'show end stoppers', and put a metal under the probe (around 1mm under it), it goes from 0 to 1. But sometimes, it changes byitself. I want to test, if it's because of firmware. Can I just connect the printer to pc and flash it to an older version of firmware?

Most likely the cable is broken somewhere where is the most movement and bending..

Same here: the cable of the PINDA Z axis probe is broken. When moving the cable I can randomly toggle the Z axis endstop. I'm very sure that the cable is broken close to the zip tie at the back of the extruder mount.

How can I get a replacement? Has someone a link to a KNOWN WORKING replacement spare part?

Update: The support helped me finding the right spare part: PINDA probe V1. I had to login into the shop to be able to search the spare parts!

In the meantime I just replaced the cable temporarily and it's working.
