    Not the case ground wires, the signal ground wires labeled with a G. If you have some output but it is not what it should be, this is in 90 % of the cases the culprit. But yeah grab a multimeter and check the resistance on all the connectors, if there is more resistance than a few ohms (if any) where the wires should be connected you have a problem.

    I found out the hard way one time
    Pfew was very lucky there, thanks for the advice. had no probs but could have.

    Fuck shit, what does suck is that the wires are directly soldered to the pins of the ilda connector.
    Which sucks when it comes to desoldering and soldering again.
    Likelly something went loose here yeah, not sure still.

    I'll check into it though.

    Buy a nice breakout board from your favourite supplier and everything will be fine!
