I have a motor board out of a dyson vacuum hoover that controls the brush motor in the head, which is a 240VDC motor. The board is powered via 240VAC and converts through the typical bridge rectification method of 4 diodes. It appears to have a 400v 100uF capacitor to smooth this rectified voltage out. My issue is that there is a broken trace between a small capacitor and a resistor, and this is causing my motor not to work.
The question i'm asking is; is it safe to solder a wire to bridge this breakage?
I have had the board unplugged for 24hours, how long would you say this capacitor would take to discharge, or would it not need to discharge for it to be safe to bridge this break with a soldered wire?
