I would like the experts opinion on this one. Just picked up my guns
n roses. There was a light out in the cross. Just one, replaced the
bulb still out. Traced it down to a bad ground trace on the light
board. I dont do board work as a rule. But this time I took a wire,
soldered it to the pin on the board and soldered the other end to the
board where the light twists in. Problem solved! Is that considered
a repair or a hack? It works but I dont want to get in the habit of
doing that kind of stuff if its a hack. Are bad traces repairable
any other way?
A hack is defined as something that makes the board non-serviceable - if I'm following you correctly you soldered a wire from the driver board to the light board somewhere else in the machine? That would be a hack, as if the board has to be removed for some reason, it can't be. (Because the wire is attached.)
If you mean the wire is self-contained on the light board, it's slightly hacky as you should find the break in the trace and just repair that part..... but is fine if done neatly.
