Soldering U.FL ( UFL Coax RF) connector. No Signal Problem
Testo:
Hi, I bought a used phone from a guy claiming that the network simply "stopped" one day. I thought it would be a software/firmware issue as a result. But after doing the usual googling, verifying imei, updating firmware etc etc I eventually opened her up to find this:

So the guy is telling a few porkies and wasted my time. The usual eBay buggery going on here. My question to you nerds is how to go about fixing it. Since the U.FL port is only for test purposes, could I just solder a wire accross?
I'm guessing the trace coming from the RF attenna coax flex cable is the one I need to solder to the other side. The negative pads look like they're ground. So I just need to keep them insulated right?
Thanks in advance. Lets save this motherboard from the landfill. Peace
