Re: heating bed issue.

Your thermistor isn't reading properly. Make sure that all your connections at tight and that all the crimps are good. you can take a small flat head screwdriver and Try pushing on the wires in the back of your connectors until they read something like 25-30c. Do NOT turn you heaters on until the thermistors read something.

Re: heating bed issue.

I'm seeing the same thing on my SD3.  I was printing just fine, but after a print, the bed would not heat up.  When I tried to turn it on, it just sits there at room temp.  I traced the wire to the board and was surprised to find that the wire clip was pretty loose.  I hadn't bumped it or touched it after the last print.  I'm suspicious of that connection, and frankly, am surprised by the poor quality of the connector.
