#%&*! This compaq is cursed! (ot) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

I tried scraping, I scraped so much that I scraped throuh to the
white part of the PCB. It still conducts. I can't see any solder
bridge, but plugging it in causes smoke to emanate from the cable.
...
 I would try a piece of cotton string.  Heat the solder
until the bridge  is 
...
 molten, then dip the cotton string in it.  It will soak
up the molten  lead.
...

Once you get most of the bridge soaked up, scrape between the pins with  an
...
 exacto knife to be certain.
