SOLVED Paragon - I might have ruined a trace

[sticky1138]

I had a perfectly functioning Paragon (with Court Jester mods) until I replaced the LEDs for a different color. Now one half is silent.

I didn't touch anything other than the two LEDs and the switching daughterboard, which I removed to access the LEDs, but I did confirm that the wiring to the daughterboard is not the issue.

I believe the culprit might be a fried trace near the LED pads, as pictured. This is the best image I can get after cleaning it with IPA, but it looks like there are a couple tiny copper spots exposed on the non-functioning side. The LED still lights as it should.

I can't visually follow the trace to see what/if anything can be jumped, and I'm a little dumbfounded by how the switching works on this schematic, so I'm curious if anyone has any insight.

It’s hard to tell from the angle on the picture but is there a solder bridge between the anode of the LED and the leg of the pot?

The LED trace shouldn’t kill the signal of the circuit even if it was broken. How did you go about confirming the wiring to the daughter board isn’t an issue? It seems more likely to me that the issue would be the switching. Do you have any pics of that?

Looks like this trace is damaged. It's easily repairable, give me a bit and I'll mark the points to jump.

Connect a jumper wire across these two points and see if that helps.

That fixed it right up! Thanks!
