Topic: X endstop TRIGGERED even when disconnected

My Press stopped being able to move to the right. At first I was able to send X home after homing Y first, but print wouldn't even start.
I've found that M119 reports X endstop as TRIGGERED at all times. Y and Z work fine and change status when I push them.
I've tried opening the motherboard enclosure and disconnecting the X-stop connector there, it didn't help. M119 still says triggered. I've even tried M502 to load factory settings and it didn't change anything.
What can I do ? Would reflashing the firmware help ? How can it be triggered with the connector disconnected ?

They are opposite of what you'd think. Triggered is N.O. (Normally open) so you probably have a bad or loose connector.

That was it, thanks!
The endstop connector wiggles a little and it has to be pushed away from the green board to work.
Where can I order a replacement ? I fixed it for now but it doesn't look stable. The parts I found on Amazon don't look the same and use 4 pin connectors.
