Because I had removed every wires to test transistors on A1 and A2, and
since I have to buy 4 new 0.1ohm resistors and an equivalent of 2N6254,
in the meantime because they are identical I decided to interchange A1
and A2, I was hoping note a +5V collapsed on the other output but no, it
is always the same output which is in default, the one that is
associated with A1. It is therefore possible that the problem is not at
the level of these series pass transistors.
Maybe Q2 on the regulator board ?

Question: a faulty voltage regulator can behave in this way? I always thought
it worked or it did not work, but not between the two states depending on the

(In answer to the question, yes, a faulty regulator can produce 'in-between'
output voltage.)
Should modify that answer a little: a regulator like this can, not just if
faulty, but also by design intention, produce an 'in-between' output voltage,
as per the functioning of the current-limit circuitry.
