3.45V alt on v7?

[Headly]

Checked for power and power was OK. Uninstalled the chip for the third time, and now I am just thinking. Checked the BIOS legs for bridges and balls again. Its all ok. The only other thing that I can think of, if you guys think that it is at all possible, is that I was reading another post on ps2newz and one guy had a similar problem on a version 4. It was suggested to him to check the clk connection. He posted that his problem was solved but never posted his solution. Does anybody have any clue what is going on here? I sure don't. I am losing my mind. Almost ready to go buy another ps2 and try and see if that one works.
