Okay, the joint I suspected to be broken seems fine. It's the one on the
left of the two red arrows in the above description. That's where my
capacitor is connected to and I just checked the the resistance from the
capacitor to the pad where the right red arrow points at. No measurable
resistance, so the joint should be electrically good.

Checked it, the hole is free.
