Today I?ll break out the ?tin foil covered
sponge? method of tracing any
other points on the board that I might have missed
last night.

"Tin foil covered sponge" ???
Connect one lead of the multimeter to some pin/net you want to trace. Then,
connect the other lead to a foil-covered sponge (or metallic brush) and
brush it over the PCB backside, stopping when you hear the continuity
alert. Not useful generally for big nets that connect everywhere, and not
very useful for SMT boards; good for through-hole stuff though.
