What this means is that you must flow solder well on any such pin to be sure it has not failed.
i do see it! this makes me feel better...its a relief to at least know what the problem is.
i honestly cant thank you guys and this board enough...without this info who knows who much this would have cost me, and im short on cash right now....so, much appreciated.
