Sorry to dig out this thread but i need a quick respond:

Tried the VDimm-Mod with soldering a 1k fixed and one 5k VR in series at the "zero ohm" spot mentioned earlier in this Thread (don't think I soldered something wrong)
Unfortunately the Mod doesn't work, nothing happens when i lower the VR's resistance. My question is if anybody here tried the VDimm-Mod with the 1k fixed resistor and if it worked, then i might have done something wrong while soldering :/
Rig runs fine, did't damage anything
