I was working on a tapper board and was swapping out a chip when the unthinkable happened... One of the legs had a jumper attached to it, and while I would normally take a picture first; my phone was dying and I was very tired. (Shouldn't work at 1 AM after putting in my normal 9-5) I though, "I'll remember where that goes, no problem." Now I cant remember which leg the jump lead goes to. Doh!

This is chip A3 (74LS273) on the super sound board, solder side. Jumps pin 13 of the 7406N @ A1 to ? I have another tapper board that does not include these jumpers. Anyone else have a similar board?

that's seriously some of the grossest solder work I've ever seen. like at that juncture, I would add, desolder, and start all over again.

what's the purpose of the jumper wire? I'm not seeing any traces run anywhere.
 
Yeah, wasn't flowing well. Salvaged chip, it was late... not my best work.

On the part side, there's a cut trace and a jumper to A1 pin 7, so I'm guessing it has something to do with that, but I'm not sure.

treborlicec, unfortunately it doesn't.
Vertexguy, I wouldn't count on it being that one just because it sorta lines up. It's a little bit of a stretch to hit that pin and I dont remember it being that tight.

Ive actually done this mistake before, cant remember the board though.
