Okay, good tips. I'll give it a try. How about 18 or 20 gauge wire? |
| ChadTower:
Since that looks like it might be the ground, I'd err on the side of 18 gauge. It might be easier to get on if you replace the diode with a new one that doesn't have the leg clipped yet - gives you something larger to wrap the wire around and solder onto. It will also give the jumper a mechanical connection that it doesn't currently have. |

If I remember correctly the top blue wire is solderd into any empty hole. There was solder there, but it wasn't holding anything in place. |

The 30 gauge they want you to use in that link is for tiny traces. 18 to 20 would be fine. |
| ChadTower:
If there's no component in that hole then you can just pop a leg in. A mechanical connection is always better. |
