Solder Pad Came Off, Power/Volume Flex Cable

So basically, the solder pad came off after I tried to take off the flex cable without de-soldering(stupid, I know). What can I do to fix this?

Using your pic, I've listed the flex pads and the corresponding test points you can solder to if you've accidentally lifted them! Now you don't have to go trace scraping....just desolder remaining flex, resolder new one and add fine jumpers to the listed pins where required. Hope this helps some people.

Brendan S, there is an epoxy that can be used to rebuild solder pads. Something like this should work. a good guide for that. Or you could try to repair the pads by soldering to the traces. Check on here for more information. Hope this helps, good luck
