Is this why my New 3DS XL won't turn on?

A month or 2 ago I bought a Galaxy New Nintendo 3D XL in hopes of fixing it, upon opening it I found some corrosion on one of the ribbon connectors and the ribbons themselves, I used ethanol alcohol(Not the right kind, I know but it's the only one I had on me at the time) to get as much of it off and I was not able to get it to turn it on, it would lit up with a red light, a pop sound would be heard and then it would turn off again. Fast forward to last night and I finally got a microscope and upon looking at the ribbon connector under the camera I noticed that the solder on the ribbon connector was missing. My question is what I would need to repair it, if it is repairable? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Looks like that trace pad and the connector leg are eaten away, gone. The end of the nearby capacitor looks eaten away as well. It is fixable, but not exactly an "easy" fix.
