Houston, we have a problem. I happily picked up an Onkyo TX-830 (I love the Onkyo TX-series) which came with the R1 remote, RC-118S.
The remote didn't work, and long story short I found out the circuit board had a crack through it.
I don't have much experience with this kind of board. It looks to be single-layer, but at the same time, there are thin traces between the contact pads that don't appear to be metal. Are these thin layers of something conductive? How should I understand these things, do they act like conductive circuit paths or no?
So, I attempted to repair it with solder and wires, but ... it still doesn't work.
I've continuity tested between all the points I see. I must be missing something.
Current status of the board:
The back side. You can see the crack towards the bottom.
The nasty side:
Am I going about this all wrong? Should I just toss this in the trash at this point, or is there any hope?
