Kindle Replacing USB socket by bypass inside

Hi,

I started replacing the USB socket in my Kindle but accidentally the conductor strips were thorn.

Now, I want to do a bypass and solder it directly to the right spot using thin wires.

The problem is that I can't determine where to solder them.

Could you advice me where to solder all 4 pins?

Thank you,

Erez

You see the light coloured lines that lead to where the pads were. Scrape them until you see the copper trace then solder from there.
