So I decided to try the voltmod on my 9600GT following the instructions here on the forum.

I was shooting for the 1.3V mod and successfully removed vid4. Next I needed to short out vid5 to complete the mod. My method has been to use a fine strand of wire to bridge the two points. I keep the wire long, bend the end at a 90deg angle and solder across the point. Then I just snip off the long end.
I got the wire soldered across the two points and unfortunately as I was trying to snip it I tugged on the wire and it pulled off the trace from the right side of vid5.
So now, what I need to know is where does that right side of vid5 get connected to? There was a bit of the trace left and I "think" I managed to get the tip of my meter onto it and I "think" it is connected to the point highlighted in my attached picture.
Can anyone verify this for me? If that is the point it connects to then I will probably put a wire between the 2 points to achieve the connection without the use of the trace.
Yes I know I'm a bonehead. No need to point it out. These are the risks of soldering something smaller than a gnats nuts.
