I'm in an interesting situation where the circuit board in my vehicle's radio/infotainment/HVAC has a crack and is not fully functional because of it. It is one big board where all the controls run through and the crack only impacts the dash radio controls and luckily I still have all the HVAC controls and the steering wheel controls work for radio volume and radio inputs. I've seen that in theory the interrupted traces due to the crack can be fixed in order to make it functional again.
Does anyone have suggestions for someone that could do that for me?
Do you know if it's a multilayer PCB or are all the traces on the surface? If its a single layer or through-hole, anybody decent with a soldering iron could just bodge some wires across the cracked traces.

Good question, I have no idea. I'll try to figure that out either by searching online or pulling the dash apart again.

Just the mention of surface level traces makes me think of this:
