Hi!

I'm repairing a usb socket for my old phone, the 5V pad is ripped and there is a tiny copper trace underneath it, leading to the other side of the board (confirmed with schematics)
Now, what would be the best way to repair this? Should I just drill out the "through-trace" and put a jumper wire through to the other side or is there a smarter way?

So it's something like this: (Excuse the crudity of the model, I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it :P )


EDIT:Hmm, I might have been a bit trigger happy there on the forum fishing, it seems the pad extends to the side of the 5V pin, and it is full of small throughholes to the pad on the other side. It is not just the one under the leg. (Makes sense). So I think I'll be fine just grafting on something to that pad.

However- I'm still interested in knowing how you would fix a broken pad "on the other side" as there is no trace on the pad side.
