What I want to do: Trace back circuits on a two-sided SMD board.
It’s all but impossible to follow them by eye, due to multi-way connectors soldered over parts of the circuits. Is it safe to carefully probe back? I’ve looked at some of the semiconductor specs and they seem quite tolerant of boofheadry. Most of the lines I want to trace use an applied ground as a signal. Once I have a good clue on a single circuit, I only need to confirm by following back a couple of others. |
