This shows the soldering problems I found in the dimmer module. So middle toward the top is the spider-legged chip that's the brains of this board. Just lower left is a little resistor or something that's black and looks like it has 000 painted on it. Just to the down/right of that are two little silvery blobs that look kind of mushroom shape. Up and to the right of those two is another one that looks like a shiny pyramid. All three of those should look like the last one. When I soldered the two mushroom-shaped ones down properly, I suddenly got proper voltage on one of the lines that was dead before. I think this happened a long time ago - not related to this problem, but I fixed it anyway.
