I was curious if the pad that is seemingly unused on a K7000 flyback is actually needed for anything.
It fell off very easily when I went to remove and install a new flyback, and now that I'm having issues with it, I want to rule out this first. It has no trace connecting to anything on the board, and surrounding it is just circuit board, rather than any kind of ground/voltage plane. Nothing on the top side either.
Probably seems silly, but doesn't hurt to make sure before I dig any deeper.
See my other threads for this on-going nightmare, but this time the "new tech" told me how the little microscopic lines printed in the circuit board (just texturing on the plastic) are infact traces and that pad needs to be there. I laughed at first but he kept pushing it on me even after I told him how literally everything else on the chassis has a giant trace to it and that this would easily burn up any "microscopic" traces. I'm definitely not doubting myself, and me asking here is certainly unrelated to that and just making sure there's nothing else (semi-reasonable) I am missing. Oy vey!
