Game over?

[jwtlake]

Newbie here. I'm trying to replace some transistors on a tv and now that I have them off I think I have made a huge mistake.

I was thinking the solder strip along the top of the transistor was the point these would seat on but now I see that there's a pad on the bottom.

Game over?

Oh what a mistake

I I were you I would try to find 1mm thick copper and solder it in place of missing pad, and then you can solder those transistors back

Traces of Q501 are OK?

That's actually exactly what i did! I'll upload some picks when i get a chance.

Trying to debug other areas atm.

Thanks for the advice!

I'm interested in seeing that!

Don't worry, we all have pulled up traces/pads on numerous occasions before!
