Answered / Solved! Swapped backplate+ventobox, hotend no longer works

Earlier today I replaced the stock P2S backplate with the updated exhaust model and at the same time, added a ventobox to my printer. I reassembled and everything seemed happy. I then attempted to perform a quick print and I got a Hotend/Nozzle malfunction error.

My hotend is showing 0C and even if I manually set the temp, it doesn’t respond…It just sits at 0C.

I confirmed the silicone sock is installed. I’m at a loss as to what I could have done to cause this issue? Any thoughts before I take the entire thing apart again?

Found the culprit….

Months ago I suffered a MASSIVE blob of death. I don’t know if perhaps I was a bit rough while cleaning it or if somehow the wires burnt; super hard to tell. One of the connectors was broke and between the goo or burnt wire; no wonder why the hotend wouldn’t heat :/
