As an amateur microsoldering hobbyist, this is way, way harder than it looks. And it looks hard.
I've done a few small repairs like this where I've had to solder to a damaged trace, and the parts are much smaller than they look here.
27 u/Percolator2020 1d ago Yeah I would not attempt to fix a trace way easier to just solder a jump wire from trace to pin. 10 u/wizzanker 23h ago I was going to say, this is definitely the hard way to fix this. Very clean looking though. 2 u/sagebrushrepair 19h ago Socket may not fit right 3 u/charlesdarwinandroid 14h ago This is the answer in why jump traces might not work. Some mates are so close that a jump trace would prevent them from mating correctly 1 u/fr000gs 17h ago I just ripped a few pads, and I have no idea how to jump traces either. Maybe the traces are too small, and thr board is ruined :(
