I usually take the easiest and most obvious route in trouble shooting. Such as bad solder, burnt, scorched or leaking components. Cases like this one makes me want to add an extra charge for amateur and inexperienced people that worked on it before it comes to me. I don't blame anybody for trying save money. I just wish they realized that if they are honest with me and come to me first they can save money and time.
