    I ripped off the bottom pad of a DFN (pic attached). Is it fixable/best strategy?

    My motherboard died and I've been researching for a couple of weeks. I finally got some chips in and ripped off a slightly torn DFN mosfet pad while cleaning the board. Any suggestions on a general strategy to repair/replace it? I have the severed pad if it's possible to reattach. thanks, ya'll!

    Yep easy Fix Soldering gun & Flux those 2caps are connected with Drain side of the Fet , scratch the broken end on the MB put a jumper, but 1st do a continued test Multimeter , in YOUTUBE you can find many Videos

            put some solder mask, put old ripped of pad ... glue with uv lamp... solder back 2 point with good amount of solder... place mosfet back, remove a bit of the extra solder on it.

              Hey techtiger, on that pic you posted: do I just need to connect one of them back to the new chip, or does the mass of multiple wires matter? I'm asking because the drain connects to several things in that area. (pic attached)
              If not, could I also just connect to the test point I marked?
