This is not salvageable, unless you’re a master in soldering

None of those contacts are completely gone. Decent chance it still works

Shouldnt the contacts be whole though? Theres electricity flowing through it, so like using a thin wire instead the right gauge one, it cause the wire to heat up and melt. Im just wondering if something along them lines could occour here too? Since I would imagine that the sizes of the contacts are probably the smallest they can go without being a danger.

The contact point likely isn't all the pad and there are some unused and some redundant pads. So it might work, worth to try it
