Burnt off soldering pads both sides on the +ve input for the power.

[Preverb]

So my pinecil soldering iron didn't seem to last long (2-3 months). Of course, it only had a 30 day warranty. It stopped powering up with a 5v USBC and then it burnt out a more powerful USB C power adapter. So I switched to the DC barrel adaptor. I didn't notice but the temp was not properly displaying and the tip was red hot. It basically melted off the soldering pads off of the +ve for the power. (I had literally populated the whole board with no issue and was near finishing up). I am assuming it will not be easy to bypass that... Am I totally screwed or can such a thing be salvaged? (This was a Simulcast BTW).

Thanks! I guess I should have looked at the schematic first. Just so annoyed with the iron I bought. It's ending up to be a waste of money. Should have just went for the TS80 instead of a Chinese clone.
