So I have this little circuit board thing(don't ask what it is, I
don't really know myself, that's why I'm trying to fix it) that my
friend stepped on and broke the usb male end off of. He said I could
have it if I could fix it. Ok so anyway, I figured it would be a
simple matter of soldering the piece back on and that the solder
connections were the only things that were broken. But, when i took a
better look at it, I discovered that the metallic area on the board
where the connections from the usb male end thing attached (as in
green part of the board and metallic part of the board) were broken
off. I didn't even know that that could happen. So, is there a way
to fix this? I can't solder the connections back, because it won't
stick without those little metallic pieces. Thanks in advance for the
help.

Have you scraped the solder mask?

I don't know what that means. Sorry, I'm a noob. If you mean, scrape
where the little metallic part used to be, then yes.

I also forgot to mention that his dad tried to solder it back on and
didn't do to good of a job, so the board was a lil messy when I got it.
