Please help, I've wrecked my Beresford

[snowflake]

I have moved from the "mod your Beresford 7510" thread to the "I've wrecked my Berersford" thread.

I'm really not good with lead free solder. Solder keeps getting stuck inside the hole after desoldering the component.

If you take a look at my board, I think i may have damaged the EC 8 and EC 9 holes.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!!!

This are my question.

1. Are there any connections from the top side of the board (surface mount side) to EC8 and EC9 ? I believe i see some tracks on the top side running to EC 8 and EC 9.

Also I've wrecked the copper tracks on the bottom of the board.

2. Can i just bend the leads and join them to CC1 and CC2 since I know that they're in parallel.

3. Can I take out CC1 and CC2 and place the EC 8 and EC 9 caps in their place since it's they're connected in parallel?
