Hi all!

The opto board in my TAF is not working properly. I’ve swapped it with an opto board from another TAF and the optos worked flawlessly.
My opto board has got sockets solded. I changed the ICs (LM339) but it didn’t sort out the problem.
Is there any way to check if the sockets are well solded to the board?

Thanks in advance

A meter would work. Put one probe in a socket the IC leg goes into and the other probe to a solder point on a trace away from that socket you are checking.

Thanks for the answer. I supposed that but I wasn't sure if testing for continuity was enough. I have just tested it and found some bad solded points in the socket. I've resolded them and continuity now is fine. I'll check the board in a few hours.
