LAD3 screwed on V1.6? Assistance requiered

[sike420]

Hello,

I was chipping my brand-new xbox v1.6. I connected "all" of the points correclty execpt one, LAD3. I don't use a chapt3r. I soldered the lad3 put i accedently pulled the wire of again and the tiny circle to solder it on the MoBo came with it from the motherboard. I think my pad is wasted allthough my multimeter shows connection between two points on the pad with the screwed one between them.
Should i be able to fix it if i put a wire between two connected points (the earlier connectpoint if you follow the pad and the connectpoint on the other side of the screwed LAD3, there are no other components between only the pad and a few connection points. )
Or not? any other suggestions???
I can't boot my xbox with no chip installed neither. Is this normal? I get no error messages, and no video signals on my television. Just a three times try boot from the xbox and then a flashing red/green eject button.

p.s. my solder skills are quite fine, i managed to chip before.

You'll need to fix that trace!

Like you said, follow the trace back and connect a wire to the previous pad.

Now here comes the fun part - that pad you lifted was probably part of a via. You may be lucky (if you're using kynar wire) that you can put the other end into the hole and add a tiny bit of solder to bridge the connection. Concentrate on getting the Xbox working without the chip first.
