The first time I installed a magic I saw the diagram and had to ask the same question. No they are not bridged. I have seen the same line between the two and also beleive taht they are connected. The points that look like they are connected are often shown as alternate points for SCex. As far as the lens goes, the fact that it boots PSX games is a very good indicator that the install was good. First try to clean the laser. If that fails to get it to boot DVD-R then look in the forum stickies for information on how to adjust the laser. The only equipment needed for this is a continuety meter. Good luck.
