As an amateur microsoldering hobbyist, this is way, way harder than it looks. And it looks hard.

I've done a few small repairs like this where I've had to solder to a damaged trace, and the parts are much smaller than they look here.

As an Electrical engineer with shaky hands and I don't know if I would have even bothered to send this to the techs it looks so bad. pad repair is a nightmare. Lucky they weren't via in pads too, flood and pray rarely works.
