Quoted from flugs:

Wow, this is a quite brute approach and I do not think this is an appropriate solution (except you want to find your pin in the "worst repair hack" thread one day).
It also may lower the value of the pin if you want to sell it one day (I would not want to have a board with soldered connections and it normally tells you that the repair was not done by a professional and you are asking yourself what else has been done to the boards).

Flugs...you've misunderstood. This poster was simply removing the Z-Connector by cutting it out, and joining the wires, which is a completely acceptable action. The Z-Connector is only there to ease manufacture anyway.

Quoted from JimB:

I wasted time replacing mine.

Replacing your thermister wasn't really a waste of time. It allowed you to rule it out as a cause of the resets.

Quoted from Wickerman2:

Buy a new rottendog board and be done with it...

Nah...fix the OEM board. It's almost always better than any aftermarket board.

Wow...I didn't realize that the price of the RD power/driver board was up to about $300.
An OEM driver board can be fixed and bullet proofed for 1/3 of that, easily. And, the board will last a good, long time after that.

If you work through this disciplined process, the problem will be solved.
