EPROM ECU Help

[97spydergs]

I'm Fixing the solder job on my friends socketed eprom. The person that soldered it cant solder and bridged two leads together, and covered the connections in hot glue. Anyways there was a jumper wire running from pin 8 of the eprom chip to a hole running to pin 6 of the black chip to the right. I need to know what that wire is for (Bad install). Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You need to know what that wire is for or what those pins do?

The first should be obvious and the second clear from looking at the pinout of a 27128.

I know its a jumper wire. I want to know why its there i've done alot of searching and found nothing about a jumper wire when socketing a eprom.

So an I to assume you can't figure it out?
You don't have any guesses?

Perhaps it's there because they broke the original circuit trace desoldering the EPROM?
