minus-squareLillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-21 year agoOh, that makes more sense. The heat from the malfunctioning cooker may have resoldered these points badly. I was curious how like half the points were bad, and that could explain it. e: especially since they’re all at the bottom half of the board. That was closest to the heating element, right?
