Hot end thermistor always reads zero

On the same day that I upgraded to the newest firmware, my hot end always shows zero degrees celcius.  The printer worked after installing the firmware.  I do not think that it is the firmware, but I did flash an older firmware and still have the same problem.

The problem started, I think, when I was changing the nozzle to a different size.  I assumed that maybe I somehow damaged the thermistor.  So confident I was that this was the problem that I tried to order one off the Prusa site but they were out.  So I ordered one from Printed Solid.  I plug the new thermistor into the board before installing it and I have the same problem.  I swap the heat bed and hot end thermistor cables, same problem.    Any thermistor that I plug into the heat bed board connection works just fine.  Any thermistor that I plug into the hot end board connection reads zero.  And obviously I have a mintemp error.  The original hot end thermistor has a resistance of 109K.  I checked all three fuses and they are good.

Hopefully I posted this in the correct spot on this forum and hopefully someone can help me. I don't know what else to try and suspect the controller board.
