Umm...

I did something really stupid and ended up melting a few traces on my SX52 Proto Board. I'm having a hard time figuring out where two of the melted traces go so I can repair the board Could someone please do a continuity/resistance check to see where they go?

[red]Pad #1[/red] - The bottom pad of the top capacitor, as shown in the picture, goes to one of the [red]Switch Pads[/red] I think, although I can't figure out which because the trace is melted and it goes under the switch on the other side of the board, blocking view.

[red]Pad #2[/red] - The positive pad from the power jack, also going to the Switch I believe. I melted this one, too :(

[red]Switch Pads[/red] The pads where the melted traces appear to be going.

Thank you for your great support, Parallax! I could almost buy a new board at $10, but I have already soldered all my header sockets into this board.

The Pad #1 circle includes the scorch marks and a bit of melted solder bits, so that's why it looks a bit weird. Please don't ask what type of power supply I was using. ;)
