10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

Unfortunately my TurboDuo was giving me some more audio problems (I had already gone in and replaced the post op-amp caps) and then disaster struck! The entire pad seems to have come up and now I can't attach anything to it.  On top of that, cleaning some of the leakage with isopropyl seems to have exposed some copper.

What have I done?!

I've attached a couple pictures and the first thing that should be clear is that I'm a rank amateur learning on expensive equipment.

Photo #1 has four arrows.  The red one I'm not too worried about except that half the pad did come up and I'm not sure if that's still making a good connection.  The white arrow shows the missing pad and I'm wondering if I can solder the capacitor in at the yellow and black arrows.

Photo #2 is the exposed copper.  There might be a little solder touching it, it's tough to tell.

Basically, I don't know how much damage I've done here or if this thing is even repairable.  I'm hoping I don't have a fancy looking paperweight on my hands.

ANY help is EXTREMELY appreciated.
