Infinity install prob, advice needed please

[mrbluesman]

Matrix Infinity installed in v5 PS2 and I don't see the version number under the Playstation 2 logo on boot. The console works fine, exactly as it did before the install, so I stripped it down again to recheck my soldering, all seems ok but I decided to shorten the ground and 3.3v wires, (shame cos' I thought they looked pretty tidy), re-assemble and boot.........same prob This is my 2nd install, the first was my own v9 and I also did the Romeo mod and it works perfectly, reading just about anything I chuck in the cd tray. I do have pics of the install. Can you point me in the right direction please, ta

Check the 3v3 wire - it doesn't seem to be too good a connection - check it for continuity with a multimeter. Also, try putting insulation tape over the TOP of the chip and the solder points - you may find the chip has just been shorting on the grounding plate

is there another point on the board that's common with the 3v3 point, for continuity checking? Also have you seen all pics cos I just put 3 more online, making a total of 5, I resoldered the 3v3 wire when I shortened it but do you think it looks dodgy?

Thanks in advance for your help
