Question Have I killed my U5 pads?

Good news - I now know what has caused me to make a royal screw up of my board so hopefully second attempt will be better.

Bad news - is this screwed up beyond salvage? (Also, is the trace cut enough? OM6 board)

Well you've managed to destroy all but one ground pad there, so I'd say there's no real point trying to mount the U10 there. You can still do the relocation, but you'll have to run wires to the U10 legs to supply 3.3v and ground.

Ok, this can be my experiment board then. I need to use the U9 as part of the 'incident' wrecked the U10 too. Where would the legs need to be wired to?

Is anyone able to point me in the direction of where to wire my U10 chip legs to on the board?
