A few years ago i was messing in a 133MHz pc and my screwdriver slipped, and i cut through like 20 lines next to the processor. I was able to fix it easily by rubbing off the lacquer in that area gently, and then i tinned my soldering iron, put a blob of solder on the end and just ran the iron back and forth quickly accross the cut traces. They patched up easily and none of the solder bridges fused with their neighbors. [/quote]
I did the same thing on an A2000 trying to remove the power supply plug in the middle of the m/b (probably for the first time since it was manufactured). The screwdriver slipped and I nicked one address line. This was a dead motherboard due to battery leakage and after I had repaired that area I had forgot about the nicked line. Eventually, I remembered it and was able to just run a small wire between a via and the chip the trace ran to and presto, it has worked fine since. :-D
