Never being one to assume I do everything just "oh so perfect", I looked over the traces with a glass to see if there are any breaks - sure enough, I have 5 broken traces on one board - the other two are A- okay from what I can see. These are tiny, .010" wide traces running parallel to other traces or a ground plane. The few times in the past I have hed to do repairs such as this, I simply laid a piece of thin wire along side the trace and hit it with the soldering pen - worked okay. This time, there isn't enough room to that. I know I could run jumpers and bypass the trace but I am guessing you guys got some tricks on how to do such a repair so that it looks good in the end. So, lesson #643 for me, any givers out there willing to share a few tricks? Chris
