I sent my mobo to Jason (MickeyMouse), before I went on holiday and he did the mods for me, cause I had no experience with soldering and modding at all. He tested it for me and it worked fine, but when I got it back, after 2 weeks, customs had to check it :confused: it didn't work anymore :mad:
So I had to do the mod myself, cause Jason thought the wire was disconnected.

Jason did the mod like this, and I fixed it the same way, but now I still get the alarm going off. The systems starts like for 0.1 seconds and then turns off starting with the alarm until you take off the power. I know the solder points are good and nothing else has been damaged. This is the overvolting alarm right, sounds like a siren.
Jason used these VR's (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F002%5F011%5F000&product%5Fid=271%2D342) and I turned them counter clockwise, the reading I'm getting then is 105 Ohms, when I turn clockwise i don't get a steady reading. It's jumping around from 80 to sometimes 140 and then stops. I have to put the multi on it again then. Could it be the VR that's been damaged? I hope someone can help me, been busy with this board for like 4 days now, and it worked fine first, so it can't be wrecked I think...
