Well, after seeing alot of tutorials on fixing bad PCB traces, I cleaned up the SHT21 PCB and scraped off the one suspect trace, sure enough the trace was corroded thru...my temporary solution, because there is no longer a radio shack and I don't have supply of flux, small wire or PCB varnish/coating to do some trace bridging (as per the tutorial)...I used a small shielded wire (for auto electrical) and soldered the wire between the two ends of the suspect trace...got continuity...and fired the 5N1 up...VIOLA!!!...my temp started reading immediately on the acurite console...humidity was suspect, but as soon as sited the 5N1 back where it was...the temp and humidity started falling in line with NWS readings for the area...i don't expect for the mods to hold forever, the humidity down here wreaks havoc with any metal...but glad to know that the SHT21 wasn't bad as far as temp goes...I will keep and eye on the humidity reading as it is starting to fluctuate...
