Newbie ripped off solder pad

[adam3303]

Putting repair kit in an Emerson A17F8MPW-001 power supply and I pulled off the pad for the cathode side of diode d10. Is there anywhere I can bridge this to? Not very good at reading board traces yet. The board does show D610A (guessing alternate??) Here are some pics and I believe the schematic. I believe that it goes to ground, so I should just be able to bridge it to a ground??

Re: Newbie ripped off solder pad

If you check the schematic, one end of R608 is connected to the cathode of the D601 and the other leg goes to ground, just like the anode of D601.

The blue resistor should be R608 (because it's big and the schematic says it's a 2w resistor which should be big).

If you can, don't route the lead at the cathode end of the diode through the board, because you may short something now. Simply solder the lead to the lead of the resistor right near the diode cathode. I can see from here the other end of R608 goes to ground

Alternatively, get some thin insulated wire, solder it to that end of resistor, push it through the board, solder the other end to the lead from the diode cathode and solder it.

Or third, get some razor or something and gently scrape away that gray stuff, which is just silkscreen paint. Once you do that, look at the trace that was supposed to go somewhere from that pad you broke. Scrape away the green layer of insulation and solder the lead to that copper foil near the round pad you broke.

Thank you for the reply. Soldered to the resistor and fired it up through my dim bulb tester. No shorts. Plugged it in and working.
Thank You.

Re: Newbie ripped off solder pad

I totally had anode and cathode mixed up symbol-wise. Thanks again.
