Was over confident and ate up this trace. Stupid qsb shouldnt of made it a point to solder to such a tiny joint in the first place.
GENERAL Could a professional fix this?

Im not planning on touching that 
You asked if a professional could fix it, I could. So I answered your question.
However, a good workman doesn't blame his tools, you cant solder for sh*t, and that, sir, is what I was highlighting. The QSB isn't stupid, you are.

any tracks that look a mess can be fixed...and as for qsb they are awesome...i think you had the iron on too long and also what temperature is your soldering iron
Yeah that shouldnt be to hard to fix, i fixed one with 4 damaged traces around the x clamp holes on some ram traces, just takes a steady hand and some 28awg wire
Sk8man124 take a look at this as this might help you out with soldering skills....

As OggyUK said the QSB's cause more issues then they solve if you cannot solder. The only reason i use them is for customers who cannot solder so they can update their own boxes with a nand-x. My personal boxes are both old school coolrunner II dev boards. Nothing easy and fancy for me.
too much heat and a tip that's too big is what caused that damage, cant blame anything else on that one.

It's not the QSB that makes the point so small. Why not write to MS to tell them your soldering skills aren't so hot and ask if they could release their next board with points that a hot spade can be used on?:crazy:
sh*t happens. I'm in Indiana USA and I would be more than happy to fix it for you. Send me a PM if your interested in my services. And I promise I won't flame you in the process. That not a good way to treat or get customers.

Haha you serious?. Hows it the qsbs fault that u attempted to do a job u did not have the skills for? On top of that the qsb is designed around the actual 360 board and the size of the points are a design of that not the qsb. More to the point what the hells that on the hana chip:-D

That stuff would be flux. I'm just saying on behave of tx customers, I feel that they should have recommended an alt point on the other side of the board from the get go to level the playing field.

I would imagine if you screw up the alternatives your way up sh*t creek without a paddle, or perhaps if components around the alt.points get screwed up then the consoles a goner - and for the most part if you are using an alt. point then it's because you made a pigs ear of the first, and so the smart money says you would stand a chance of ruining surrounding components of the alt.points.
Therefore, they suggested the ones that are in the installation guide so that it would work just fine if done right first time, but you would have options if things went wrong, rather that sending you straight to the alts whereby a single mistake equals dead consoles.
You have to think, these guys know what they are doing, and no electrical design, particularly that which comes with a TX brand, is constructed the way it is without good reason.
That'd be my guess.

No reason to bash. It can be repaired yes, now all you need to do is find someone to do it for you.
Krafter seems like a nice guy and looks to be your best bet as of now..
But QSB is no excuse for you to melt part of the chip...and remove all of the points..that is sheer carelessness. To me, it looks like you decided to melt the board for the lulz.
My advice to you is to study the video/s that were linked on the first page before you attempt any more...and do this on a dead board/spare PCB board or something.
If you are complaining about the spot being so "tiny" that's not the QSB's fault. TX made is as user friendly as they can to connect the point with the QSB. Without it..it's a little bit more trickier if you have it at a wrong angle and do not have a pointy tip or a steady hand.
If you do not wish to use that small point..then use an alternative point...don't say stuff like "one should have been recommended" because they are plastered all over the forums. All it takes is the use of the search function.

Hi.
I would be able to fix that.
You need someone with experience in that area not just anyone that can solder

If you can't solder a 30 awg wire to a 50 mil pad, you shouldn't be trying a QSB anyway. They are harder IMO because its like sodlering a no-lead IC. There is no right or wrong way if you know what you are doing to begin with. Practicing on old junk boards would be a start.
