When i removed the usb port from the board some of the soldering pads were missing.
First i tried to replace them with some pads from dead board but the board was so eaten i didn't had any copper to solder them.

So with a very thin sand paper i scratched the surface then i could see the copper.

I've seen that people make bridges with copper wires and solder them slightly up from where usually the legs of the usb port land. But where do i need to put the wires, is there another layer on the pcb?
