minus-squareLillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-22 years 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?

minus-squareLillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-22 years agoStrange that all the bad points are in the lower half of the board, and that most points in that half are bad, then. e: could a malfunction make it heat beyond 370f?
