Hi, with my Minion I am still a apprentice. Yesterday in the evening I get the fault "verify heater bed ......". Bed stays cold. Today I opened the box (not powered). I disconnected the heatbed wires and measures the electric resistance. It started (my meter tells me MOhm) at 28 and go down to no connect (o/l) during 5 to 8 seconds. Then it start again at 28 (roundabout) and counts back.
Next I give power to the box. There was no power on the clamps. I set the temp to 50 degrees in mainsail and I get 22 volt.
So I thing the Bigtreetech octopus is working right?
Any advice?

Sounds like your heater wires are broken

#

I doubt the traces in the pad died, but it's possible.

Thanks, a new silicone mat is ordered at AE.

#

When I change the mat, how do I proces withe the cable drag chain. can I open the single link, can I open it link by link or do I have to pull through the cable through the complete chain??

The minion does not have drag chains. I don't know which drag chain you have or what mods you're using, but that's likely part of the reason your heater wires died.

#

drag chains can be brutal on wires not specifically made for it.
