Good morning all, I recently watched JDW's recap vid and did the same on my MAC SE. In checking voltages, my 12v lines are in spec but my 5v is coming up to 7v. I adjusted the voltage pot to try to reduce it, but of course, the 12v reduces down to 10.45v or thereabouts.

Question (since I am a newbie but really eager to learn) : What could be the cause of a 5v jumping to 7v? What steps should I perform to track down the problem?
Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable replies!
