Hehe, it was like a sauna.....no, just kidding.

MB uses a thermistor (resistance varies significantly with temperature) as a the temp sensor. I used a 1.2K ohms fixed resistor as the temp sensor for testing...this value = 47 degreeC.

So, if I was to use a 12K ohms, I could have gotten the display to indicate a freezing temp.
