[rescue] 501-5365 in E3000 causes "Overtemp detected on board 16" during POST

An update, I entered the extended POST tests as that is before the 
overheat checks, and probing the temperature register on the clock board 
reads '0xFF', or in other words it's stuck high.

Not sure where on the board the temperature probe is, I did find a ADC 
so that's probably a good start.

Cheers,
Ethan
