 First, unplug the thermistor from the motherboard, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehf2HGCckY4|measure the resistance of the thermistor]]. It should measure around 100K ohms at room temperature.  First, unplug the thermistor from the motherboard, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehf2HGCckY4|measure the resistance of the thermistor]].

 Check that you get the same reading at the thermistor itself, and also at the end of the cable that plugs right into the motherboard. Check that you get the same reading at the thermistor itself, and also at the end of the cable that plugs right into the motherboard.

 Connect to the motherboard using pronterface. You should see the temperature indicated in the bottom right corner. The temperature should increase if you put your finger on the thermistor, and the values should be reasonable. Connect to the motherboard using pronterface.

 All you need to do, is swap the TEMP_1_PIN number, for the number of the broken port. Then, reflash the firmware. Hopefully now you will have a correct temperature measurement displayed on your printer! All you need to do, is swap the TEMP_1_PIN number, for the number of the broken port.
