I took off the connector for the umpteenth time and noticed some gunk/discoloration on the pins. I clean and scraped them and am now able to get a connection. Thanks for all the help, hopefully this helps solve some problems.

Also no dice. I've tried several printer cables and variations of where it was plugged in. Is there an easy way to reset the firmware maybe on the motherboard? Or any other options to try?

Was able to follow all wires regarding the nozzle and the bed to the board. All four connectors seem to be seated well on the board, the wires seem secure in them. I was able to test the wires going to the H-Ext with my multimeter and those wires are good all the way to the nozzle. I can't get to the end of the wires of the E-Temp near the nozzle though. I am not sure how else to test these things. I haven't tried testing the bed wires with my multimeter either.

I'm pretty new at this stuff, so let me know if I am doing it wrong. And thanks for all the help.
