I removed my RAM chip at U18 the hard way because I don't own a desoldering station. I clipped off the legs, but the cutters were lower than I thought.
I circled two traces in the photo, are they supposed to connect together? I think so, but I don't understand the schematic.
If I use my meter, one lead on the left side of U18 and the other on the left side of U19, I have continuity on each leg, except the two circled in red.
