Had the same thing happen here. If the thermocouple line shorts out the temperature appears to go runaway (999F or whatever the max of your software is). Ours was a short out in a socket where the thermo plugged in to pass through the frame. Regar

only plug one side, you can definitely blow out during reflow process with a sealed via/ it is impossible for flux to be trapped in a blind via. Russ

Choices are: * Respin the board to move the via so that it is no longer under the pad. * Have the board fabricator plug and plate over the via. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for background.

Something on the 5v side is pulling it down. I would check every thing associated with the harness you are disconnecting. Your shorting somewhere! Don't have a schematic in front of me. Also look for leads getting into the backside of your connecto

I've seen this with through hole via in pad with soldermask plugging from the opposite side. Baking the boards solved it. Not using such a horrible via in pad method would also have solved it, but that wasn't an option. Is this ball sitting on a v
