As much as I want to give you a straight answer, you might be talking about a couple different things together here.

A "dumb" MOSFET has no temperature-sensor, that's true. The Trigger Master does and will refuse to fire if it detects too much heat.

It's impossible for me to tell what happened with your other MOSFET, but no temperature-sensor in the world will help you if the problem is actually that the part has fried/been damaged/is defective.

Example: if the CPU on a smart mosfet is alive enough to run, AND the FET is alive enough to take orders from the CPU, then it would shut down before you get any solder melting. However if the FET is defective/damaged/etc then it may very well not "listen" when the CPU tries to shut it down and you'll still have a situation where things get hot. It kind of sounds like the FET on your gun suffered that kind of damage. But I can't tell for sure.

Also, since my gun is already wired up with a broken "dumb" fet, it should just be a matter of soldering the trigger master in its place, right?
Really stoked on 3-round burst and having a working fet in my gun again.
Yep, all that work should be already done from the sounds of it.
Just double-check in this document here - the wiring should be the same: http://unconventional-airsoft.com/gf...umentation.pdf
