I am sorry for all the people having problems, but my Prusa mjni is finally just workjng and happily printing all the stuff I throw at it. Its been having issues here and there forever. I just figured out that the hotend has not been assembled correctly (heatbreaker to nozzle seal was weak) which became a greater issue when switching to a 0.25mm nozzle. Now after I fixed it, it is just awesome :)
I have had the opposite experience. My mosfets died O think the control circuitery on my btt skr mini e3 v2 so I decided to control them externally with a pico ordered it from aliexpress it showed up then it died. Later I bought a genuine pico and it also died… That’s how my printer isn’t working for 27 days straight.
Have you tried an exorcist?
It is an anet a8 there is no helping it. Until all parts are replaced.
Or apeasing the machine spirits.
