Soldering novice - Braveheart dead?

> Should I try to turn it on as is? Any risk of major issue? Or just likely to fail?

So this is ** not ** proper advice and I have no formal electronics training...

But checking the schematics [1], C1307 seems to be a 4.7uF decoupler. On the 'PS' side you have another decoupler C1361. There shouldn't in theory be too much noise built up on the track...

EDIT: Do not bridge the capacitor, just leave it off.

Just make sure you have shorted across R1309 as the fix suggests, otherwise you'll be left unconnected.

By the way, to short, just place a small strand of copper wire across the pads and apply solder. Be careful not to de-pad the PCB by tearing it off.

If you have it, some electrical tape or even a dab of hot glue (once you've confirmed the fix) will prevent unwanted shorting and perhaps secure it in place.

Again: At your own risk.
