Quote: Repairing a Lifted Pad

It may not be pretty, but a lifted pad can usually be repaired.  The simplest repair is to fold the lead over  to a still-attached copper trace and solder it as shown to the left.  If your board has a solder-mask, you will need to carefully scrape off enough to expose the bare copper.

Other alternatives are to follow the trace to the next via and run a jumper to there.  Or, in the worst case, follow the trace to the nearest component and solder your jumper to the leg of that.  Not exactly pretty, but functional.

Not to be Mr. Critical, but that solder could use some reflowing. There are solder balls on the CCA as well. Not sure if you did that or if it was already there.
