It can be a case of the meter readings check fine but the inner connector does not connect to the male pin on the board. 
Unless you are in a freezer a 0 reading on a heater is a red flag.  Disconnect or op on the thermisistor

Any time I train somebody to troubleshoot I always tell them to go back to the basics. Confirm connections, confirm voltages, and so on. The and only then if nothing else is to blame then you can take a look at the firmware. But don't think about just downloading it and flashing it will fix your problem. Most of the time the problem is sitting there yelling at you but you are too focused on the firmware or something else to see it.

He doesn't want to use that version nor is this a firmware issue.

@ jrcyscon, I'm not sure why you always want to default to firmware as being the source of your problems.  You have a bad connection to your thermistor or the board itself is simply failing. 
Thermistor issues are easy to troubleshoot with a DMM.  The firmware version you listed is the same as the one I put on that board.  It worked then and would have no reason to stop functioning unless you've re flashed it since.  If so, I can't think of a single good reason why one would do that.
Start with the basics and troubleshoot the actual area (thermistor and wiring) that's giving you the problems.  Flashing firmware isn't some magic bullet that will fix other issues. 
If the board is failing then it's simply time to save your money and upgrade to something better.
Even then the firmware version listed in the WIKI is still the best version for your configuration.

If yours works for me, then I programmed it wrong. But if my error remains, then I must have messed up the wiring.

I must be back in the work and then I see times over, but that might be difficult. I have used something before short for one of my printer and I had to change a lot before this firmware has been run.

that is one of the "features" built into marlin - if a thermistor is not reading correctly it will not allow the heaters to be turned on.

I got the firmware from here https://github.com/ozadr1an/Solidoodle- … in_v1_beta and then added these:

#define SOLIDOODLE_VERSION 3
#define MOTHERBOARD 81
#define TEMP_SENSOR_0 5
#define HEATER_0_MAXTEMP 300

The 25.10 and 25.90 are likely close to the ambient temp of your house. Mine kept reading that even with the bed heating turned off.

Could the extruder be just a loose wire ... bad thermister? Someone with more experience will tell us.

Ah, that would make sense. I'm just trying to figure out why they wont heat up haha. I'll go check the wires.

If you are using repeater, it may be that you make available in the firmware safety circuits in a warmed the problems, as well as the extruder. When Bolt has everything that is set in the firmware also be connected and work like that. Otherwise nothing moves

I think I'm using the flashed Marlin firmware. I followed the instructions from this site: http://www.soliwiki.com/Updating_Solidoodle_Firmware

I changed all the "#define" from the Configuration H file very carefully and double checked it all for errors. At first, I would get the M999 error, but then i read online that I needed to change my bed temp to 115, and so I did. Now the error is gone but it still wont heat the extruder or bed. Strange.

The issue i have now is my extruder and bed dont heat. My extruder stays at 0.00 while my bed jumps between 25.10 - 25.90. Any ideas?
