Just came across a problem with the steering board # A035220-02 typically used in the Atari "Super Sprint" and other Atari games.
Symptom: No steering control, as if the steering board was not even connected.
Cause: Broken foil trace at the connector at pin 4.
Solution: Ran a jumper wire from the foil trace and wrapped it around connector pin 4 to restore the connection.
See the attached pictures and schematic.
Other general information: These boards typically have a 100 ohm to 150 ohm @ a quarter watt resistor installed. They use a # K-2126 Optocoupler unit.
