yea, I agree with furball69. Somebody has deffinitely fixed a trace on that and it looks like the other one needs the same treatment. Cant hurt to do. Just follow the other trace and find 2 points that you can solder to to bridge the gap. it's probably worth fixing the third trace thats damaged as well.

looks like that cut was made using a cutting wheel and the charring is due to the fibrelgass pcb getting hot.

edit: the scratches around it also show that whoever did it did a **** poor job (as well as the charring).

nice!

find out from your friend why it was like that in the first place though...lol

False alarm....

Stoped working after a little bit.

Found out that it doesnt do it because it gets bumped....it does it randomly.

Any ideas why it would randomly protect itself every other second?
