So I been trying to make my ps2 board work but i just can’t get the right volts, I did the advanced trim and I’m using the ps2 pms.
I did the standard trim first and it worked, so I decided to do the advanced trim since I already had the ps2 pms,I connected all the wires on the board and on the ps2 pms too and when I turn on the ps2 I can feel it getting warm which I know is working but when I check the volts this is what I’m getting.
2.90
2.13
1.44
.87
Am I missing something?
Here’s a picture of the board

I forgot to said that I’m getting the right volts on the ps2 pms I don’t have any problem with that is just the ps2 board the ones that are low.

What gauge wire are you using. You should use 22 awg wire for ground and 1.2v for sure. Sounds like this could be contributing to the problem.

Also pay attention to the diagram, you're missing 5v to the ps2 board. Please dont use an alligator clip to the voltage pad, one slip and it will be dead.

i think im using 26 awg wire, I’m gonna desolder those wires and use the 22 awg and I’ll make sure to connect the 5v on the board I don’t know how I didn’t see that one on the guide, thank you Gman I appreciate your help.
 
ok,so I’ve switch all the wires from 26 awg to 22 awg and now i have almost all the volts right.
this are the volts now
1.19v
1.75v
2.45v
3.3v
And the 5v

One more thing is that the led from the pms never turn green is always red, the only way it turns green is when I disconnect a wire from the ps2 board.
Once again the pms is working right I just don’t know what’s the problem.
 
There's one more 3.5v spot missing from the advanced voltage relocation. It is the last picture, please note.

i was going to ask you about that one,i know there's one more picture that it shows the other spot but since my board doesn't have the two 8 pin IC i didn't thought it was necessary, so the 3.5v goes on the same place where the 8 pin IC should be?
