RE: Is my Filament Sensor Toast?

Could be a faulty filament sensor, other possible cause is the cable routing, very easy to trap this cable when building the extruder, and also when fitting the back plate onto the extruder.

There is a troubleshooting document for it, that includes other possibilities as well

Prusa Knowledge Base | IR Filament Sensor Troubleshooting (MK2.5S, MK3S) (prusa3d.com)

Hope this helps

Tank you very much!
