It could well be recoverable after removing the battery, carefully cleaning the affected area with vinegar then ipa and maybe some demineralised water.
There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉

No way. Even in this tiny section, you have dozens of traces to rebuild. And he did not even show the whole mainboard.
As sad as it is, but that board is done.

Even if it could be repaired it would look like shit. You have to remove every affected chip, rewire at least 30 traces and put SMDs back.
In the end it would look like this but with 20 more wires and you wouldn't want it anywhere near you.
Let it go.
