DS-2 Problem

Hey everyone, just got a quick question if someone would be so kind as to help me out...

My Boss DS-2 was cutting out on me when i was playing a few times, not giving no distortion, but actually stopping the signal coming through.

So i opened it up and found there was two wires loose. I figured out where one went (could tell from the colour of the solder) but i cant find the point to attach the other wire. It's a yellow wire coming from "14" on the PCB. Does anyone know where the other end goes?

thanks in advance, jim.

It goes to the second lug on the input jack. Same lug as the black wire from the battery snap.

..ooh thanks mate.

ive also got another wire loose, sorry to bother you with this. Its the chunky grey one thats coming from the right of the DC input on the PCB.

i think the soldering on this particular pedal might be a bit dodgy. all my other boss pedals are going to outlast me! hah

well thanks again in advance guys, any pictures would be mega useful x

I don't have a chunky gray one there. I have a white with brown tubing. But that one goes to the top lug on the input jack. Sorry no pics. I couldn't get them to come out clearly enough.
