If the board is reporting changes in temperatures, then the controller pin and A/D converter is working and you will not need to switch pins.
Is the new 100K thermistor exactly the same as the old one? If not an exact replacement, you could need a different thermistor table/configuration to get accurate temperatures.
You could test the thermistor by checking its resistance against the expected resistance at different temperatures. If you can measure the temperatures accurately with a thermocouple, you could make your own thermistor table.
Check that the new thermistor isn't shorting to itself or the hotend.
