    Follow the traces to a via and solder there. But I don't think you should even try after burning the pads.

    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.
