MINTEMP Error & Heater/Thermistor Error on Bed Selftest

Hi!

I have my MK3S for quite a while, but never got around to repairing it after I got an extruder blob and removed it. So it stood around unused for over a year.

Now I got some time again and tried, but despite already having exchanged both thermistors (hotend and heatbed) it still says there is a Heater / Thermistor Error and after a restart it shows the "MINTEMP" error (not mintemp bed).

The display consistently shows 0/0° ~21/0° as if it doesn't have any temp information at all except for the environment temp. At least I assume the second row first value is the env. temp.

I am a bit at a loss about what to do. As I said - I already replaced both thermistors. Any help/suggestions?

RE: MINTEMP Error & Heater/Thermistor Error on Bed Selftest

if you are a handy person, you could consider fabricating a test resistor, that you could connect to one of the thermistor inputs. 
If you use a 100 K Ohm resistor, the display should show approximately 25C.

RE:

Thanks for the answer.

Not really a handy person, but I could give it a try.

What would that tell me though? I guess if it shows a temperature with resistance built in the board works correctly and the failure happens somewhere else and if not it's probably the board that's the problem. Is that right?
