I have a scratch running through two, maybe three tracers on the back of my AsRock Extreme6 motherboard, which resulted in a 1 second power cycle. Took me a while to hunt down the cause too.
As a last resort I tried using a graphite pencil to fix the circuit, which to my utter surprise, actually worked.
So my next step appears to be- get a conductive pen to patch the circuit and then coat it in something like nail polish or epoxy, or attempt the most delicate soldering job I have ever seen. The tracers that have been cut are VERY small, and running parallel.
Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing, be it the conductive pens or soldering under a magnifying glass?
