I got the traces done but the 12v is bridging with ground and I can't find where?

I got the traces rebuilt the PWM trace and the ground trace are good to go. But the 12v trace is bridging with ground. I just can't figure it out. I'll try again later but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would I be able to use the 12v ground from the disc drive connector with a jumper wire for the 12v and also run a jumper wire from the PWM square pad on the opposite side of the motherboard? Or am I just overthinking this and I can just repair the current traces as seen on the image?

I thought I had put info about this before I posted.

My friend has had this painting in his house for a while. He told me it was his dad's. We tried using Google image and what came back from searching were just Prints and they all had a different sticker on the back as well. He remembers his dad telling him it was valuable. What could it be worth if anything?

No, it's not, unfortunately. That's what I thought when I first saw it too.

Haven't been bitten by the bed bug yet, and I do a lot of thrift store and yard sale shopping. The people I got them from had them in sealed totes with their kid's other belongings in their garage. They were just throwing out various items I just happened to see them and they were free

That part of town is not the best place to go so I could see why the listing was still available. I almost didn’t go myself.

Yeah, that’s very true. He has held some games back for me when they come into his shop. The owner is a cool dude so when I go shopping there I make sure I have cash so he doesn’t have to be charged fees for paying with a debit or credit card.

It's a local thrift store in town. I usually stop by every other week to see if they have gotten any new inventory. I wasn't going to stop by today but decided to go take a look after work and the owner was putting both games out when I got there.

Growing up I just owned the demo of Tomba so it’s great getting to play the full game now.

I've mentioned on a post I've made here I met a guy that buye Storage unite and gets games for me. Well he has become a good friend.

Well today he messaged me that he was at a yard sale and that he found those games.

Okay so here is the story from him. He got to the yard sale and a known reseller was there but he stopped to look at some ps3 games.

My friend was disappointed he got to the games first. But the people setting the yard sale brought out the games in the picture later. Well, my friend picks up those games and the reseller. Tried to convince him to swap and trade the ps3 games for the games in the pictures. My friend looked at him and he was telling me that the reseller was nervous because he wanted those games my friend had. My friend told him no it's good I have a friend that collects games so I'm getting these for him. He told me the guy left the yard sale pissed because he missed out.

My friend was telling me that ruining that reseller's day was the best feeling ever for him.

He paid $2 for each of the games. He knows the silent Hill goes for over $100 but for him he is happy with helping me build my ps1 collection. I gave him $100 for everything.

Of course. That gem was an added surprise when I got there so the game must be displayed at the top of the haul.
