    Heyo. I bought a faulty PS1 and found a pretty messy mod chip install.

    I removed it but one of the solder points had already done it's damage and broke a trace.

    I'm trying to identify which leg the trace leads to. I was hoping someone on the forum would already know which leg I should solder to.

    I can't be certain but you need to scrap a bit of the trace by the chip to expose the copper and use a mulimeter to determine were it goes and the other trace leads to a via.

    Maybe it will be easy to restore the damaged trace? That is not so hard as you might think - try it.

    Holy shit, speaker wire.

    Just follow the broken pad, find a wide are of trace and remove the top coat with a fiberglass scratch pen.

    Solder in a jumper. Be sure to use decent gauge wire.

    Oh well.

    Trace repair is fine. I guess it's just finally failed from use.

    Audio CDs work though. This unit should be perfect for Feuerbacher's audio mods.

    (Although if there is a way to repair this then let me know!)
