Printer stops working because extruder's temperature control is screwed up...

Hi all,
I've got the JGAurora A5 (I think it's the newer version - S) couple months ago and are still playing around with settings to get better printouts. So far I've learned more and more about the machine - its parts and what's their functions, mainly via articles and tips/tricks on the internet. It's been working good (I think), until now. I did (probably) a (stupid) thing on it, and now it's not working. I tried to replace the heater block and accidentally separated the two thermometer wires. I tried to twist them together but that didn't work very well. So I had an (probably stupid) idea of soldering them (since I thought lead has melting point of ~ 327°C, so it wouldn't melt during normal PLA printing, which is ~ 195°C). But I guess the soldering temperature (probably around 400 - 500°C?) probably did some damage to the temperature sensor through the thermometer wires. After I put everything back together, now when I turn the machine on, everything seems to be normal (i.e. homing, moving up/down, etc.) until I change/raise the extruder's temperature. The display of the extruder's temperatre now shows "357/180" (I guess 357°C was the temperature that the sensor experienced during the soldering, which is around the melting point for lead). And as soon as I started changing the temperature, everything else stopped working (i.e. none of the control buttons on the display works). Btw, I unplugged the printer while I did the soldering.
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? Maybe if there's some way to reset the machine (to get it out the 'shocked" state?)...
Thanks in advance for your help.

Those will probably work, but I have listed original replacements on the wiki here:

Unfortunately none of them are shipping from the USA
Can be a problem an MB?
I sent an email to Gearbest support I hope they will give my a solution.
Are you sure yours is a A5S? Does it have an SD card slot on the front?
Uau bad luk for me. But way the MB damaged, I only tried to replace the nozzle didn't touch the thermostat?
Very few people have had problems with the A5S compared to the A5, which is good.
Unfortunately, that also means that we don’t yet have a lot of experience about what to do to fix some of these problems!
I would suggest you may want to contact JGAurora and see what they suggest.
I ma happy with that and I will wait for the new MB.
JGAurora has a very good support and fast replay that is excellent I am glad I chosen to buy my first 3D printer from this company.
Here's hoping it fixes it - please do update us with the results!
