They are. Make sure when you test that you have the board facing the right direction. This one faces forward same as label.

Hole 22 is under pin 24 that you lifted. There are more pins than holes. 32 pins and only 28 holes. Don't count pins as holes. Edit... Looking at picture I do not see anything wrong with the wiring besides where you disconnected pin one. Check the continuity of your pins to the edge. Hard to tell in picture but looks to be some suspect traces near pins.

I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what...

I've connected pin 30-31 and 32 and soldered them to pin 1... didn't work I disconnected pin 1 -, but still nothing...

Here some pics hopefully someone can say what's wrong here

Do you mind making a few detailed pics of the boards so I can clearly see what I have to do.

This is how I wired them. Just leave enough wire exposed to drape over pin 31 and 32 when soldering to pin 30. Then solder wire to them. Makes for a quick and easy process.

Hi one question

1. how can I solder pin 2 to hole 22, because this hole already has a pin in it? Don't you mean hole 24?

FYI in case you run in to this too. With the converters I had on hand I had to remove center screw port completely on one and trim it on two.

Hi,

thx for the info!

Do you mind making a few detailed pics of the boards so I can clearly see what I have to do. I mean with rewiring the eproms not with removing the center screw (that's obvious )
