3D Printing: Makerbot Replicator 2 restarts after preheating the hbp


The Question: I've recently upgraded my Replicator 2 with a heatbed and the more powerful
power brick (9.2A). The problem I'm having right now is that the Replicator
restarts right after the preheat of the bedplate finishes. It does not matter
which temperature I set as threshold - it restarts either way.
So it restarts even in very low temperatures on the HBP. Tried upgrading the
firmware and even switch firmware to Sailfish, but it's still the same issue. I
would really love if someone could help me with this.
Edit: I've checked my cables and it seems okay. Themistor is connected via pin
1 and 3 and the power should be fine.
Edit2: Found the problem. It was a faulty hotend that caused all of this. It
works to print with , but togheter with the heated bed it makes the Replicator
to restart.
