I recapped an SE/30 a while back and then I decided to try re-soldering the chips that had corrosion on them which may have caused issues with the system not working correctly after said recap, and while I was cleaning up UE12... this happened...
Is there a way to fix this or is my SE/30 doomed?!?
Its perfectly fixable. You need to either follow where the traces go and identify where they come back up to the top and run a thin insulated wire (I use enamelled wire), or, clear out the via, run an absolutely tiny wire through the hole and tack it to the other side, then create a new pad with it, or solder it to the chip pin.
The former is easier but more visible, the latter is fiddly and takes more skill.
Damage like this is often a result of the cap juice combined with either excessive heat or excessive mechanical force. Take care, take your time, its better to spend a day planning and even practicing on a scrap board like an old VCR, than to have an accident and give yourself more work.
