Hi!

First of all, I would repair the traces and get this fixed.

Then it's for the best to connect everything again and test the controller.

Thanks, I will try it out as soon as I get some wire. One of my PCB pads was also missing, and I found a video from the same channel. I have a spare motherboard, which has a similarly sized pad, so I will scrape that one off and transfer it to the PS5 controller motherboard. I also found that one of my solder points was barely connecting to a different one, so it might be a short as well. I will be resoldering that, too. I will update ASAP.
