Damaged boot pad on EDC17CP14

[Rousie]

Hi guys,
Bought one of these ECUs to learn with before eventually reading from my own car!

I decided to solder a solid pin onto the boot pin pad, so i could clip on and off whenever I wanted and also to change from KTag, Galletto & Kess etc...

Stupid one here decided to catch the pin on my jumper and ripped the pin off, leaving nothing there but a dark hole 😑

Does anyone know where this traces to do I can use an alternative point for the boot pin?

Thanks in advance

Hope these pictures help.
First one is with a Cheap usb microscope I bought and others with phone camera so sorry about the quality.

I can’t even think where to start

trace where damadged pin goes and try soldering on next available soldering point

That’s what I thought, but I’d imagine it traces back to the main chip and I can’t see any traces to follow, etc.

You say "Boom"!
Thats not right!
I hope that was a lesson for you!

Sure did, and I’ve soldered for years! Must have been a weak pad to start with! Hey, ho!

I’ve now completed a full read on Galletto!
