Lifted a trace, doh!

[tronnyjenkins]

In my attempt to swap out a vacuum tube on my M-Audio Sputnik, I accidentally lifted a trace of one of the tube leg solder points. I get the general idea on how to repair (bridge that gap to the next component with a wire), but unfortunately I can't find a schematic for the mic and the PCB doesn't plainly show the paths on the opposite side. I guess it's multi layered or I'm blind...

Any direction?

did you lift a trace or pull off a pad?

Can't see a lifted trace there but I do see a solder pad that is missing. perhaps being a through hole the trace and connection pad is on the other side of the PCB.  Possible to take the PCB out and check?

Sorry- I did mean pad not trace
I’ll be back to my studio to work on it tomorrow but I don’t recall there being a path on the other side hence my confusion.

It's a mic I doubt it is multi layer other then two layer, top and bottom, nothing in the middle.

I'd suggest you post a pic of the solder side of the pcb ?

which tube ?
which pin does it connect to ?

Good news!

I guess when I left the other day, I had overlooked the signal path on the other side of the board. So all I had to do was solder on the side where the tube lays and the signal flows.

Also, the tube solved my noise issue and generally sounds better.
So an all around win win.


Thanks all.
