Hello everyone, i have just finished G9. Checked all supply voltages and they are fine. Then connected front panel boards for first audio test. Channel 2 runs ok with some minor issues (the common osc problem, etc, i leave them out of discussion for now).
My main issue is that due to lack of 10pin crimp connectors/molex in my area and the fact that i was in hurry, i went for a custom patent idea for 10 pin board connectors. I used common male-female pinheads and an unused prototype board i had laying around.
As i was in hurry, i cut the big female pinsocket bar with scissors but in instead of 10 females i cut 11 in Channel2.
"No prob, when will connect it i will start from pin2 and above" i thought, BUT when time came, i accidentally connected the male 10 pinheads/protoboard by starting from the first pinsocket of 11 female pin sockets.
So my whole G9 board-panel connections were one connected to its above etc. 1female empty, 1male to 2female, 2male to 3female,...10male to extra 11th(unused) female.
For example, instead of P48 to P48 , i had P48 to Line, Line to From12V, ... Out+ to Out-, Out- to Trafo+ ... and finally "To Output" to "Nothing" (the silly empty pin socket in the end).
In the last pic i show exactly how i accidentally connected them wrong. The extra female 11th pin is marked with orange arrow.
Now for Channel1 i get only hum, no signal output.
Channel2 is ok as i said above.
What should i check first?
