Bill,
Have you traced the cable from the threadbreak sensor down to the motherboard?
Sometimes exercising the connector to the motherboard by unplugging and
plugging it back in will cause a connection to take hold if there is some
corrosion involved....we do this often as a trouble shooting technique when
necessary. Did you physically unplug and replug it a couple of times when you
checked it?
If the sensor replacement did not do the trick then ....
1. you replaced a bad sensor with a defective sensor.
2. Neither sensor is bad.
3. The cable from the sensor to the motherboard is malfunctioning.
4. The connection from the cable to the motherboard is not secure or is
corroded.
5. The sensor PC board is shorting out against the needlecase if the insulator
is not present.
6. The main motherboard is kaput....
It is a bit of a hassel, but taking a known good sensor off of one of your
other machines and trying it on the problem one would tell you the story...if
that did not work....swap the known good cabe from one machine to the
other....bet you would isolate the problem this way....
