    :Your printer is reporting a hardware Error. This may prevent your printer from functioning properly.
    Error reported extruder switched off.

    Your heater block could have a problem that has prevented it from reaching or maintaining correct temperature. It's also possible that the thermistor which reports the temperature is having a problem. I have had to replace the cable connections from the mainboard to the heatbed, at the mainboard, due to the connectors being underrated for the currents necessary to operate properly.

    Even if the connector is not the problem, consider to tilt the printer over, remove the bottom cover and examine the connector. It's a pull type connection and should not be blackened or melted.

    The heater block is part of the extruder. Specifically the part where the heater core and the thermistor are. Here is an example: The blue circled areas is where the parts are. The large red wire is for the heater core and the smaller (black or white) wires are the thermistor
