I am trying to fix my son's kindle fire USB plug. It quit working and when I opened it up I found that all of the pads had come loose and two were broken.
I have a new plug to solder in but as you can see two of the five pads are ripped off.
I was thinking I could just run a wire jumper from the plug to were these two runs go like I have in the picture in yellow.
But here is the big question. see the second picture. On the under side of the pcb in line were these two ripped pads are there are two small black squares. I dont know what these are. Do you think these are hooked up to the pads going through the board? If they are how would I fix that? Can I just run jumpers to these as well and solder a wire to the little bit of solder I can see on the sides of these little squares?
Or do you think just running the two jumpers like I said in the beginning would be enough to fix this like in the first picture.
Any tip or help would be great.
Thanks
