Awesome site..
I pulled the unit, no such luck with any solder issues. Relay is on there perfectly fine. I did try the jumper wire trick though, just to see what would happen, and sure enough, the rear blower whirred to life!
I I'm guessing that it's just that the relay actually went bad. Question now is do I try and track one down (are they realistically priced?) or do I try soldering jumper wires to the board as that site recommended doing if the solder/traces were cooked? Thoughts?
