Hey guys. This voltage regulator is gonna be the end of me lol I've had way more problems than I out to have had with it.
So I had to rewire the voltage regulator because almost all of the wires snapped (looks like the Flux I used corroded the stranded wire). After rewiring it, I have no voltage output on any of the pins. I have 12v at the input jack (see picture), but that's where it stops as far as I can tell.
The only other thing worth noting is one of the pads for ground lifted so I had to use the pin right behind the one I was using for ground.
Of course I've checked my wiring, checked for shorts, and I didn't see anything, but when checking resistance, two output pins didn't register on the multimeter at all, so I'm assuming those are open? Since everything looked good on the pin soldering, I looked underneath and it looks like there might be a missing resistor? I'm not familiar enough with the regulator to know for sure, so I thought I'd consult the pros. Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about:
