Is it possible to have a P1S repaired in the NYC area (preferably in-home)?
You (the user) can perform most of the repairs.
Look at the Wiki to see guides on assembly, disassembly, and fixing common issues.

Question:
Answer:
Supplementary info 
I definitely get it. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction regarding the following problems. Iāve had no luck so far:
- The hotend cooling fan speed is too slow or stopped. It may be stuck or the connector is not plugged in properly.
- The filament cutter sensor is malfunctioning; please check whether the connector is properly plugged in.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and this may be a dumb questionā¦other than eyeballing, how can one tell if connectors are plugged in properly?
Iām assuming this is the same printer from your other thread?
Iām going to go out on a limb here and suggest that there may be something more complicated going on here as the previous owner probably had connection problems between the print head and the mainboard.
Check to see if you have a good ground between the head and the mainboard.
If you do decide itās too much for you there are a few results in Google for 3d printer repair in New York. Also if none of these pan out Iād bet that a lot of places advertising 3D printing services might do repair too.
the two items plug into the the Extruder Interface board. So from there either it could be going bad or itās cable isnāt plugged into the TH board properly. Iām assuming youāve already checked both plugs into the Interface board and they are solid. Replacing the Extruder board is easy and itās a cheap part.
The cable is the big flat silver one above where the filament sensor plugs in that runs over the top of the assembly and plugs in right where it drops. I donāt know where to get that cable itself, Support may have one available. Be sure itās seated properly on both sides.
Other than that could be the TH board but I think youād see more errors, especially since the extruder motor plugs directly into the TH board.
The only other cable would be the communication cable that runs the length of the cable chain and attaches to the MC board. P1 series tool head cable. I wouldnāt think itās that.

Iām in Danbury, CT if that isnāt too far for you to take the machine. If youāre interested weāll figure out some rate, but I have a lot of experience.
Thanks. Iām going to keep trying. It would be a nice train ride up to Danbury but carrying a printer would be a problem.

Did you ever find anyone that does repairs in NYC?
Interesting! Microcenterās website included 3D printers in their list of items that they do NOT repair. How did it work out for you?
Is there a repair in Brazil??
I have no idea.
You should be able to achieve it yourself as I said, follow the guides.
if one is (hands-on) tech inclined (i.e. tinkerer), your recommendation might work, Malcā¦ but if one is a newbie to both 3d printing and tech repair, well then, one would definitely be wise (and benefit more) to use a (dedicated) repair shopā¦
Welcome to the forum!
Are you near Sao Paulo? I found this guy by searching Google for ā3d printer repair Brazilā.

I had the same question when I began using my Bambu printers, and discovered that most printing fans are either tinkerers or learn to become one. Bambu Wiki, Bambu Forum and Youtube have really helped me develop confidence. It may take some time but keep trying and you will get there. One bit of advice is to get yourself a couple of magnetic hex screwdrivers (we call them Allen Keys in my part of the world) and a pair of needle nose pliers. The most difficult thing I have found is how to explain what the issue is. May I ask what type of repair you need?
