Opamp voltages are just as important as transistors.  With the usual DIP8 we know pin 4 should be 0V and pin 8 should be at the supply voltage level, and in most cases the other pins should all be somewhere between 4 and 5V.  That often gives a really big clue to a problem area, or just as importantly, tell us that the voltages all look good which suggests a bad connection elsewhere like a bad solder joint rather than a faulty or misplaced component around the opamp.
