Hi Guys, I replaced my thermister as it was cracked and the on green light was not working and the swg generating green light was not on. I the thermister was cracked so I soldered a new one. The Salt prior reading was 2900. The on light now comes on and it swg generate light comes on after the flow red light stops blinking however after a few seconds it stops generating and says to inspect cell and check salt. Here are the readings before and after the 25-30 mark. Also my T-15 is 22mths old, purchased on 10-26-16.

Average Salinity = 1.70
Temperature = 32
Volts = 30.9
Amps = 0.00
Output % = 44p
Instant salinity = -0.00
Equipment ID = AL-1
Software ver = r 1.40
Cell type =

I checked the cell and it looks great. Is there something I can check before I replace the whole board? Thanks in advance.
 
The display board might not be making good contact with the pins. That causes the settings to change randomly.

The main issue was the low average salinity, which was 1,700 ppm. It has probably updated to above 2,700 ppm now, which will fix the warning lights.
 
Thanks James. I also wanted to add this. I attempted at first to connect the new thermister to the old legs using wire connectors however I got PCB on the display so then I broke down and took out the old legs/ prongs and resoldered in the new thermister. Here is a pic

This is pics of the thermister as it crumpled in between my fingers.
