First pic- post repair (almost completed). ?Replaced the 2x Ferrite Beads, Resistor, Capacitor, and 2x inductors. ?White spot over the resistor to the left is glare over the flux. ?I still need to finish soldering the bottom right of the connector, but it got late and i needed to swap tips on the soldering iron. ?Hoping to finish and test tonight after work.

2nd pic is before i put the connector and rest of the components on. ?The gold trace over the ferrite bead is the trace that burned. ?It is an extremely short trace making the repair on it a PAIN! ?Took me hours to get the trace to stay in place and fit in halfway decently. ?I ended up using high heat transfer tape to secure it in place until I had the ferrite bead in place. ?The other missing trace has also been replaced, but I don’t think I captured a picture of it. ?I ended up having to use a fine tip soldering iron instead of the hot air rework station because the hot air melted the solder along the entire trace causing it to jump to the next pin or fly off the board. ?I’m soldering that pin last in hopes the connector will hold it in place. ?I have green solder mask to paint over the areas where it went thin from cleaning as well. ?

Hoping to test tonight and see if this comes back to life.
