[GBA SP] are my charging port solder pads screwed?what can i do to fix this?

Post image

years ago the charging port stopped working so i unsoldered it off and the solder pads ended up coming off as i had the soldering iron too hot. how can i go along and repair this? or am i toast? or is it possible to just rewire it somehow to usb c?

People really need to stop trying to fix specifically surface mount stuff when they have 0 experience. Like seriously find some old scrap electric and practice on that first before you mess with your prized item. To answer your question yes you destroyed multiple pads take it to a master electrics repair shop or use it as a display piece.
