I followed this thread to determine which connections dealt with the extruder temperature sensor, and proceeded to use a continuity tester to test solder points in the connectors.  The solder point at the extruder was broken (on the blue connector), and after adding a dab more solder to it, it seems to read fine.  The bed and extruder are now heating as expected.

I have the same problem but its only my extruder/hot end. The bed heats up fine and I can move the extruder around but it doesn't read temp and it doesn't heat up.

check your connectors on your thermistor. "ET" connector on the board and the Blue connector on your hotend.

So, remove the tape on the nozzle and check the wires?

There's a QC PASSED sticker on it. If you aren't getting anything for extruder temps then you should have a warning or 2 in the log area at the bottom.

I would be inclined to check all connections on the extruder thermistor. Try to make sure the wires are in nice and solid in the connectors. It looks like you know that it is the Blue connection on the extruder.

Can you take a picture of the electronics and attach it so we can see what you have going on?

But extruder still seems "dead"

Right now the is showing that you are at the home position with the Y axis (carriage is all the way towards the back) and Z axis (bed is raised all the way up). Is that correct?

There should be line for inputting your own G-code. That will tell you the status of the endstops. You should be able to manually push in the end stops and look at the output of M119 to see if they get "triggered". You will have to enter in the code while you toggle the end stops.
