Follow the traces to a via and solder there. But I don't think you should even try after burning the pads.
Well, the pad that was there from begin just go down into the pcb...
I have found out that the alternative point go to the big chip just over the points... leg 24 from right count...
but this is for a v14. but maybe it is same on v12...
could someone confirmed this???
Too much heat... way too much.
Having had a baptism of fire to modding.... My first attempt ended up pulling off pad P...
Some points I have learnt the hard way...
Make sure the laquer has been removed. Use a fibre glass pencil. But Don't rub too hard otherwise you will have no copper left.
Use a very small tip and low wattage soldering iron... mine is 12w (I gave up on the 18w one I use for normal electronics)
and.. to solve my problem...
Make sure you stick down lose wires. I use double sided sticky tape so that once one end is attached it doesn't get tugged (that's what happened to my Pad P)... and even then I try and get both ends done a.s.a.p. (Place the chip before doing any wires).
The vias are more difficult that the pads. P, U etc. should be a walk in the park; W more tricky, soldering onto the surface mount componets next and the the small vias are tricky.
And... if you can't see the detail... get a magnifying glass or loupe.
If in doubt consider using a professional. The charges are normally very good value.
