RE: Major Havoc clicking

Well, I spent a little time w/ my boards, and I think that I've found the
problem. There are two jumper wires on the PCB, and both are broken, I
guess both were shaken loose in shipping...

Anyway, I'd just like to make sure that I resolder the wires in the correct
place (the ends could conceivably be interchanged). Here is what I'm
assuming:

Jumper 1:
IC 12D pin 7 to connector pad #11 (M)

Jumper 2:
IC 12 A/B pin 7 to connector pad #12 (N)

Can anyone confirm this and/or point me to documentation regarding these
jumper wires. Further, if I recall correctly, OEM jumper-wire is crap and
should be replaced anyway???

Also, on the PCB is a "Quad Pokey Eliminator" daughter board... Again, any
info/docs regarding this element?

Thanks
