V minion heater bed on the fritz
Howdy everyone, my heaterbed out of no where started giving me issues, and updating all the firmware didn't work either. It takes roughly 5 full reboots to get the thermistor to register the temperature. I'm assuming the thermistor probe is just dying, but at the same time it doesn't fail once it starts working for a print. Anyone have a similar issue in the past? And if it is the probe dying, how much of a pain and $ and I looking at to fix it?

a thermistor is a really simple device, it just measures resistance so I don't think it is just dying. Have you double checked the wiring when it isn't registering the temperature?
I doubled checked, nothing damaged, gave a good tug on the jst connecter and individual wires
you could have a internal break within the plastic sheath of the wire
Heard, I wouldn't be surprised tbh with how hard I run it. I'll cut and crimp a new connector later and see if that works before replacing the thermistor
update: I should have just kept to the rule of kiss, it was actual thermal run away my bed power was half a screw turn too loose
