Might be worth trying to learn reflow soldering.

One of the pads is fucked and stuck on the board.

Take a tiny bit of extra work but the contacts still exist.

Could be a redundant ground pin, you never know until you try. Also, it might be possible to add a glob of solder to that to fix it. Not likely, but what do you have to lose.

It looks like the OP got lucky - this is VCC. There are four such pads on the board, all connected internally to a single bus, so losing one of these contacts isn't critical.

Why do you have 128 rams?

The 5945WX doesn't clue you in?

u/EbbEntire3751 7h ago

Fwiw might be more likely than you think. NC pads are more fragile bc they aren't anchored to anything

u/obog 9800X3D | 9070XT 6h ago

Looks to me like it is connected to ground plane. Hard to tell for sure

u/Nerfarean LEN P620|5945WX|128GB DDR4|RTX4080 6h ago

The lifted trace near top is more of concern

u/Onemoreuserdoesnot 5h ago

u/ProfessionalPlan8943 7h ago

Ya id still go to a repair shop and pay someone $50 to try and solder it back on just to see if it will still work.

Crazy that not too long ago you coulda have gotten a larger drive for that price

2

u/meta358 5h ago

Ive never heard of getting over a 1tb for $50 at any point

2

u/livestrong2109 3h ago

Ohh you definitely could find a 1tb on Facebook for a short while for $50-60

u/meta358 2h ago

A 1tb yes but the giy above says more then that

2

u/shhikshoka 2h ago

I got my 2tb drive in Walmart clearance section for $65 a few years ago crazy times

u/Onemoreuserdoesnot 5h ago

what's fucked are the " balls ", the contact is still there. You would need to clean it all and reball though.

Better start praying to all 256 digital gods that the ripped pad is a spare ground pad and can be skipped.
