How to test 1.3 for damaged thermistor pins (1 reply)

Hey, all. I've been having an issue with my Prusa where the hotend thermistor would read at max temp all the time. I ordered some new thermistors to rule out a faulty one, and thought I was making headway when the new one read 0 degrees. Come to find out, my thermal paste was shorting the wires together. I cleaned it all off, and the new thermistor was reading around 357 C when cold. I did some looking around, and it seems that this is a prime symptom of having shorted the thermistor circuit to 12V. Is there a way to test the RAMPS board/Arduino to see if this is the issue, or am I looking at buying a new board to rule that out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
