I am very new to soldering small electronics. I am attempting to fix a power supply on a TV and continue blowing a fuse. Wondering if it's my bad soldering or something else. The solder job doesn't look good and I've burned the pcb in areas, however if I check continuity from the pin I soldered to the other end of the trace, it tests good. No solder bridges between pins either. Is this good enough of a test to ensure the solder is good enough? Any help is much appreciated. I can attach pics later, but quite frankly it's embarrassing. Lol thanks

Re: Testing soldered connections
Yes, I sometimes test my soldering with a multimeter if it's looking a bit sketchy.
I'd say the fuse is blowing due to something else.
It would be easier to help/advise with a pic or few. -
Re: Testing soldered connections
blow fuse, usually you have issue with primary / high voltage fuse if it's located near the high voltage rectifier, it could be shorted FET...Comment
