3.45V alt on v7?

[Headly]

I cannot get any backups to boot at all. I have gotten very used to the sounds my PS2 makes when booting backups and it is missing to clicks off the end.I always install the clock wire as a twisted pair, why not do things right the first time. Seemed like a very good connection everytime. I usually check every connection by giving it a good tug. If I can't pull hard of nearly pick the mobo off the counter with it I resolder it. I am sure that the bios points are to the correct place, and I have tried two SCex points. I found a power point that was on a pad so I am sure I have a good connection there, I am now using the 24awg. I really have no clue. I have done this install, on this ps2, three times already. Each time I have been very careful, cut new wires, label them all, go throughthe install guide point by point. Only other thing I am going to try next time is the alternate clock point. This is about the only wire that could cause the problem that I have not tried an alternate for.

Thanks for the help. I'll keep you all posted.
