Thank you!!!
I've registered just to show my gratitude!
I convinced my employer to buy a Qidi x-plus a few years ago and for six months or so it worked really well. Then, changing a worn nozzle I crimped the thermistor wire. Main board blown. Work were unwilling to buy a new one for various reasons (certainly not money though) and so eventually I brought it home and bought the board myself.
Fast forward a couple of years and despite being very careful with the thermistor wires the same issue again. I tried all the same steps as the OP with the same result and was on the verge of ordering ANOTHER new board (which is a financial pain right now tbh) when I found this thread. Ordered two breakout boards from Amazon with the chip on, £8.65 with sub 12hr delivery. Replaced and I'm back in business!
I guess a resettable fuse would affect the resistance and throw out the thermistor (I'm not an electronics engineer!) but it seems like a killer weak spot on the otherwise great Qidi printers.
Thanks so much again, all the best!
