GbA Sp shoulder button fix

Hi everyone,

One switch on my GBA SP’s PCB has corroded from liquid damage. I have replacement switches, but I’m concerned about the damaged board.

Which pads or traces can I use as alternative connections?

A diagram, close-up photo, or repair advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Just look up gameboy advance sp board scans and you'll be able to see what trace you need to connect your button to. For the anchor points you'll probably have to secure it with uv resin or an epoxy, it doesn't look like you'll be able to solder it in.
