Continuity on audio ffc

[d31801]

With regards to the audio ffc, I am getting continuity on the following pins using a multimeter/continuity tester:

pin 2 (+5v) and pin 4 (nc)
pin 2 (+5v) and pin 7 (nc)
pin 4 (nc) and pin 7 (nc)

Should this be happening? I am certain my soldering is fine (see photo) and the only issue I've had is the video ffc which I am due to fix but the audio is perfect..

Many Thanks

Are these direct shorts or 30ohm or so?

Thanks for your reply, Dan. Not to worry now, I managed to find a spare PU18 PCB which was untouched and I had the same result.

Some of the pins will can and will have continuity, but are not directly shorted (IE 0 ohm short)

That makes sense. Thanks for your help, Dan.

There are 3x pins with 5v on the audio IC. Pins 2 and 4 are on either side of ground (pin 3) so watch for shorts there. I know it skips a couple pins before you find 5v again so pin 7 sounds right.
