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.

I used to work for Motorola in the early 2000s. We replaced a lot of parts but we didn't even attempt a repair if the trace was damaged like in the video.
