Topic: Plate and Extruder not Heating

I have a Da Vinci 1.0.  The extruder works because I can load filament into it and it goes right through.  The problem is that when I send a print job, it acts like it's printing, but isn't.  I've already checked and it's not in dry mode.  What I have noticed is that the plate is not getting warm.  Could it be that if the plate malfunctions, the extruder will not heat up either?  I would think if it was running a series of tests and failed, it wouldn't even pretend to be printing.  What gives?  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I'm so close... so close.

I should also mention that as soon as the print job starts, the temperature clearly stops dropping.  I can watch it count down on the screen.  sad

Thanks in advance!
