CPS2 Multi pink screen issues (Solved!)

[Greenalink]

This is carrying on from my previous attempt back in January.

I got a new soldering station with a thinner iron which did made those tiny circles a piece of cake.

However, I am still getting a pink screen issue. The screen goes black when changing game and the LCD device is fully functional. So it is either:

A) Those 4 pesky wires... again
Or
B) The physical connection with the multi kit to a dead cps2 board.

Push down that interconnect so is making better contact with the pins it's sitting on and see if that helps

Also check the connection between A and B boards and make sure there's no bent pins

That's what I was thinking.
The interconnect was initially super hard to push in back in January and you can see from the screenshot that it's not fully straight. Pulling it out is tougher than the CN9 connector.

Are you sure it isn't installed backwards? Take a photo from above please

the interconnect is installed in the correct direction, you can see the silk screened text is on the correct side when comparing to my own CPS2 install

Try to seat it correctly though

Sorted out the interconnect board and it finally works!!!
I am also happy that my soldering skills wasn't the cause of this.
