thanks for the advise mate, really appreciate your advise on this. My soldering sucks ass mate , but I was careful and made sure I didn't burn contacts or over temp the board. if you think 2 and 3 not being connected correctly could cause this issue I will remove solder buy a new JST and the best solder I can get and try again. Thing is I feel like I am chucking good money after bad here, bought all new correct size wires because the all black same size wires the vendor sent me didn't sit right. TBH I am not that happy with the device itself and for the price I expected a little more. Might try one more time and draw a line under this disaster story and move on.
