Dark Esbat Boost - Messed up Trace

[gheorge77]

So like an idiot I drilled the led hole while the PCB was installed into the enclosure and ended up drilling out the back side part of the cathode hole for the led. There's no continuity between that hole on the back side and the hole directly below it even though there is a trace line. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem without redoing the board? (And yes I know I am an idiot for drilling a hole while the board was in the enclosure).

Install the LED and leave the cathode lead long enough that you can bend it over and make contact with the hole directly below it.

On the top side of the PCB?

It'd probably be easiest to do on the component side, yes.

You're basically just bypassing the damaged pad/trace with the lead of the LED itself.

If it will reach you could take it all the way down to the SW pad of the 3PDT breakout board (or top center lug of the switch if you aren't using a breakout board).

If everything is already wired up though, it'd be just as easy to connect to the SW pad of the effect PCB.

Makes sense. Thanks for the logical suggestion.
