is thre any of the track that connected to the pad still there? if so, get to maplin, get a fibreglass pencil and gently rub away at the green stuff til you see bare copper, and try soldering a link to that. if that's not possible, are the via holes still there, from the second picture? again, same story, but you'll probalby need really fine wire for that, like the kynar wire they use for modchips
