Hi everyone,
I'm working on repairing a Pilz PNOZ X4 safety relay module. When I opened it up, I found some of the connector pins detached from their pads. I replaced the connector with individual wires, but the issue remains.
The module is set to dual-channel mode with manual start. In this mode:
In my case, although 24V is present on S52, the CH1 LED doesn't turn on, and the contacts don't close. It's behaving as if S52 isn't getting power, even though it is.
I compared it with a working X4 safety relay and found that one of the internal relays isn't receiving a ground signal.
I switched some elements between both working and nonworking boards, nothing changed.
I'll provide a photo of the faulty board here, more in a google drive folder. Any help identifying possible causes or failure points would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The module is set to dual-channel mode with manual start. In this mode:
- Y36-Y37 and Y1-Y2 are bridged.
- 24VDC is applied across A1-A2.
- It monitors two emergency circuits (S11→S12 and S11→S52).
- When both are closed (24V present on S12 and S52) and the start button is pressed (S33 connected to S34), the NO contacts (13-14, 23-24, 33-34) should close.
