@ppzikos amazing work. I have one the same but missing almost all pads. I've tried but can't do it, beyond my skill level!
I'm going to order some of them copper pads @FXDX linked to to see if they will work for me?

I think it's more about ton of patience, a lot of practice hours and huge faith that device is still fixable...
More than just "steady" hands

in fact it is quite easy with good preparation and trusted material.
my soldering iron ( ts 100) is small and quite precise and with microscope the hands are more steady.
it's long to do but not complicated finally, then it was the switch of a young man from my family his makes you want to fix it!!

I have another one in the same state I will try to make a video.
