After 2 years i finally started working on trimm.
But as I see in 6 layer trimm

Am I supposed to have 4 different regulators?

Read all the text in that image and the custom regulator guide.

Are these bottom pins(at 6th window) meant to be merged? I now gave up 15mins trying to unbridge them. And which trace should i cut on rvl 001?

Yes. That is why the picture shows them bridged.

and which trace should be cut on rvl-001?

The trace is in an internal layer. When you trim the board you also cut the trace.

So on rvl-001 i dont need to cut anything just wire it to the gpu/cpu pin right?

Correct

How big the sand paper should be? The most i got from local shop is P220. Are there any spots to test continuity between layers on RVL-01?

You should have a variety, 220, 400, 600, 800, maybe even 1,000 if you want

American or Europe measuring system? because what i seen somewhere my P220 is actually 440 in american.

that would be american but I am not sure the difference.

 

[Stitches]

Mainly tolerances, but there's actually a chart for it. 220 grit is pretty much the same on both scales, anything above that is where the differences start to show. Australia uses the P scale, so I can say that I recommend using 220 > 320 > 400 > 600 > 800 for board sanding (add some 1000 onto the end there if you want to be extra safe). For plastic sanding or case work, 600 is the max I've ever needed to use for non-wet sanding applications, and 800 is the highest I've needed for paint. Always do it in steps, though. Most coarse to most fine, skipping steps is what ruins paint jobs and leaves copper hairs on boards.

Can someone test me some location against ground on rvl-001 around AVE chip and video connecetor? as iam getting 1/4 throughput on pins 8 and 10 against ground so iam almost 100% certain there is a short between internal layers.
