As far as the "broken track", with difficult to
remove components, and the lack of an octopus with scope,
an exacto knife slice of track can be used to meter
suspect components without removal. A solder bridge then
repairs the "service trick".
Err, no. Quite apart form the fact that I don't like making
non-reversable changes if I can avoid it (like cuting tracks), a solder
blob is not a reliable way of bridign a track cut. It is much better to
solder a wire (I often use awg 30 wire-wrap wire with the insulation
removed for logic-level tracks) across the cut.
