As an atheist, I ask for prayers that the backup's good.

E: Your solidarity has worked. The backup is good and not too old. Note for myself and you - install your OS on a snapshotting filesystem so that live backups are possible.

You could maybe reflow it in a toaster oven.

Maybe...

Yes. This is possible to fix with some skill and some flux.

Bit hard to tell due to the resolution of the image, but it looks like some traces may have come up with the IC.

Sometimes, pads can still be left behind on the PCB while no longer being connected to the vias underneath them.

Yeah, good point. I'd take a shot at it with the right setup. Nothing to lose.

Worst case scenario is everything else melting off, definitely worth a try

I've heard that pad repair is possible... But that would be quite challenging.
