I have just completed (I think) Phase II construction of my K2, and I am
getting ready to power up and calibrate.
Unfortunately, I failed a resistance check. Page 59 of the manual says
that the resistance from U6 pin 8 to ground should be >100 ohms. I get
about 37 ohms.
At first I thought this might be a bad thermistor, but looking at the
schematic, even a direct short across the thermistor should not be able
to lower the resistance that much. I have carefully examined the entire
thermistor board area for shorted traces or contacts with neighboring
components, but I can't seem to spot any. Are there other places/issues
that could easily lead to the low resistance? (I have double-checked
that the right resistors values are in the right place on the thermistor
board.)
I don't want to desolder the thermistor board unless I ABSOLUTELY have to...
Thanks,
Cathy
