Hello, I installed the Modchip directly on to the bord. Got a Red LED which didnt change.
Now I tried to desolder it(i suck at soldering and it was a pain in the ...
Now I noticed a contact which came off.
Is it fixable?
(pic attached)
thx ^^

You'll have to use wires. You can try to scrape the solder mask away from that via and solder directly to it or find an alternative solder point on the other side of the PCB.

Cant I just hook one cable to the circle where the Gold plate was ? (Circle is green on the pic)

That's what I meant. That pad you tried to use goes nowhere.
