TEST Help alternative solder point

[Andy9788]

Hi all

Hope someone can help I tried to fit the sputnik 360 switch to my Liteon DG-16D4S, and damaged the track where the track cut is.
I just wanted to know if there is an alternative position I can put a wire link instead of the missing pad or is it a bin job and get the unlocked replacement PCB.

Thanks

Andy

So do I just use a wire link from the solder point on the Sputnik switch to point C59

 

[diaboliq20]

u just use a wire to jump from the pad shown to C59 yes

Sorry I don't get this

If I just wire link the two points in red what connects to the sputnik solder point that should connect to the missing pad.

one end of wire to sputnik other end to c59 closest to the chip thats it repair of the trace isnt needed trust me have done a few and havent repaired the trace drive works fine but if u can repair it do so. also soldering to the c59 is not hard yes small spot but easy tin ur wire first use little flux on the c59 point put the wire agianst it tap ur iron a few times on it done
