I have a Sanyo EZV chassis out to do a cap kit and there is a jumper wire on the solder side of the chassis between one of the legs of TR401 (the leg that is directly above the "TR401" text on the solder side of the board) and the negative leg on the C161 capacitor. I have several other EZV chassis laying around here, and none of them have that jumper wire.

What is the purpose of that jumper wire? C161 is one of the caps I'll be replacing. Should I reconnect that jumper wire when I do or not? The monitor currently works, though it has a case of the jitters.

I've seen that wire on a lot of the Sanyo's I've worked on (not all, but a fair amount). I always assumed it was done at the factory. I never bothered to actually look at it and see what it's doing. I just unsolder it, replace the cap, and solder it back on.

I've seen them before as well.
It's the ground side of both components....maybe beefs up the ground trace for one or the other. Never really payed much mind to it, always just put it back.
 
Thanks. It looked factory soldered to me. I wonder if that jumper wire should be added to the ones that don't have it.
