Speaking as a fellow service tech, I'd have to go along with Alex's response.  Sounds to me like someone was trying to isolate a shorted power bus.  Look very carefully at that mathbox board for something that has been replaced in the past... such as a bypass cacitor or something else that could short the +5 volt bus and ground together.
