Crap!! I burned a solder pad

knight_yyz
Hey guys, I was soldering components onto my premade PCb I ordered and I goofed up and burned one of the pads off.  I'm pretty sure the 2 yellow circled pins are dead ends but I'm not an expert.

I have a feeling this pin is not used, in which case I can just leave it.  But If I am wrong I will have to solder a jumper in its place.  

Fyi the pin is pin number four on a TL074


 


Thanks guys!

Yes it's really easy to do. The quality of some PCBs is not good, and pads can burn off when overheated. Check against the schematic, if it confirms that the pin is not used, then you have got lucky. If it is used, then like you say, use a scrap component leg to form a jumper.
