Hello,

I am just installing a speedball upgrade. All resistance and voltage reading from stock crack were within tolerance. I installed and tested the small board and all voltages were on and LED's lit. When I went to install large board OA and OB resistances were over limit. Plugged in the unit and nothing.  Unplugged unit and checked fuse. It was blown. Reflowed solder at connections for large board and tried again. Fuse blew again. Here are the resistances I’m getting. Thanks for helping.

Small speedball board
OA - 317.6k
1A - increasing resistance
B/A-B - 0k
1B - increasing resistance
0B - 310.1k

Large speedball board
0B - over limit
G - 0k
B+ - increasing resistance
0B - over limit

Thanks again for helping me troubleshoot this issue.

It’s hard to tell from the photos, but are your PN2907As oriented correctly?

Thank you.  Yes they are installed backwards.  Will correct and see if that fixes the issue.

You also have not sufficiently soldered your PC boards.
