ya there the same thing test clocks/meter your wiring seems fine so look for solder bridges but as Original ps2/1 games work and the ps2 is not making Electrical interference noises when it boots then solder bridges dont seem likely sounds as if it is not getting power but your install pic is 100% so could be a dead chip did u check the chip from the ground point on the chip or the copper peice at the side of the board recheck using the copper peice of the ps2 board as this will show up any fault in the wiring as the chip points are grounded by the chip so it will give u a reading even if no wire is conected to the chip
