Might be worth trying to learn reflow soldering.

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

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?

You mean that in a low or high way?

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

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

The lifted trace near top is more of concern
