Hello Peter,

If you do decide to repair the traces, look at
IPC-7721, procedures: 4.1.1 thru 4.2.5.  These IPC
approved procedures describe several methods of
performing reliable repairs to damaged traces.

In addition, web site www.circuittechctr.com has
information on trace repair, in their "guides"
section.

If I can be of more help, please let me know.

thanx

Bill
