Friend messed up my laptop motherboard while working on my bench

[Geeker007]

Hi All,

So my friend was visiting and he wanted to use my solder bench to solder on some WLED circuit board. My laptop was open on the side for RAM upgrade. I know my mistake.

So while soldering he had too much solder on the soldering iron tip and he just shook off the soldering iron on the table itself to remove extra solder on the soldering tip and it landed on the motherboard of laptop. He then out of fear tried to remove it using solder wick and did more damage by removing some components as well. So here I am with weird situation.

I have not tried putting power as of now to the motherboard, fearing it might burn something as components are missing.

I think the motherboard is shorted now. I know some basics from Youtube videos but not so much into motherboard repair. Can someone please guide me here. It looks like from the below image one pad is removed, two of them are shorted and I am not able to remove the solder on the two pads that look like shorted and are shorted too when check with multimeter. What are these components here that are missing?

Below the PD Controller (Not Sure if it is PD controller) some caps are also missing.

Can you guys help me with repair? Which components I should order to get them replaced.

Brand/model of laptop? Board model number? That info will be needed to find schematics/boardview if available
