[Elecraft] K2 Problem - I let some smoke out

Recently, while reassembling my K2-100 (#2652) after installing a Clifton
Labs IF out module, I managed to pinch the 12V aux wire that connects the
100 watt module to the main board against the right side panel.  After the
smoke cleared, I found a lifted trace on the amp board that feeds the 12V
to the connecting wire.  The trace was still in place, but I decided to
remove it and hard wire around just to be certain it would be OK.
 Everything seems to be functionally restored except receive on 80M, which
is basically dead.

Anyone have any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?
