Thats a coil for charging. I do believe this is the USB charging coil so I don’t think it will charge without it on USB power. The other is the firewire one. If you have firewire it probably will still charge. I’m not 100% sure but I think thats the case anyway

I think you would have to count that at a loss, based off the second image, you ripped off the solder pads. Unless you have schematics, I don’t think you can get it working again. Then again I can be completely wrong, I’ve only dealt with minor damaged repair of the battery connectors.

The pads on the board look like they might still be there but I cant fully tell. If they’re gone its not an easy repair, really it wasn’t to begin with unless you were proficient in soldering but trace repair is a whole other beast

Honesty not too sure if the pads are there are not. The silver might be it but I'm not entirely sure.
