I was working on my dad's controller. The left thumbstick module is experiencing some of the worst stick drift I've ever seen. Unfortunately, I screwed up while trying to desolder the rumble wires on this BDM-030 motherboard, and I accidently yanked loose what seems to be PCB wiring? I'm a novice — I'm almost certain this is beyond my current skillset to reverse — but could a professional solve this and, if so, where would I go? Some links would be much appreciated. Preferably a mail-in service, please. I really don't want to buy another motherboard. 🙏

My PS5 controller's d-pad/action buttons stopped responding properly, so I opened it up to clean the contacts. While cleaning, the carbon contact pads on the flex cable and motherboard area wiped right off (circled in the picture)

Is there a solution for this? DIY I mean!

Or a replacememt is needed!?
