Look at the board on the back, there should be 3 Red LEDs on the back that are lit up when the unit is turned on.  If there aren't 3, one of your resistor fuses are blown.

If it doesn't, you broke the thermistor. If it does, you either broke the heater cartridge wires, or it's become disconnected. On the original model, the connector for the heater cartridge was known to be bad.

You'll need to start doing some trouble shooting before you can get replacement parts, unless you just prefer to keep replacing things until you hit the right one. Better heater cartridges are easy to get off ebay and elsewhere. You'll probably have to do a bit of research to find the part number for the thermistor, but I'm sure you can find it on this forum.

As always a cheap multimeter makes any of these kind of trouble shooting tasks much easier.

For some reason sometimes it heats up, and sometimes it doesn't. Sadly, it hasn't for awhile now since this post.

This happened after a messy print. Now, I can't clean it because temp isn't going up. But no filament seeems to be stuck on the tip.
