[SOLVED] Torn GND pad. Can I jump a wire to other cap's ground?

[brooke.j]

Hello, I'm working on a 820-3332-A. I see a torn pad on the ground pin of C8452. Can I just jump a wire to C8454's ground right next to it? Or do I need to find a separate ground not connected?

I didn't want to scratch around to did out the ground unless everything around it is ground maybe? Could anyone give me some insight? Thanks

Once I replace the component can I jump a wire to ground? Check out the illustrated photo for context.

OH boy now I'm really screwed (hope not) I knocked off the PIN1 pad and I can't find a trace around it. I think it goes directly down in the middle! What can I do? PIN 1 Goes to C5 of U8450. Shit. Don't see how to jump to that. Am I screwed?

Whew, That' what I thought. Ok dug down deep enough and found the copper underneath. Used some sandpaper and some patience. SOLVED!

Sandpaper? Just scrape off the Solder mask with Tweezers or a knife

Who cares about that cap, is not critical.
