I’m working on an A1283 Mac Mini logic board.. A connector broke off leaving a post/lead flush with the pcb. I’m unable to create a connection to it. Though everything else worked prior to my breaking that connector off, I can’t get it to run. This connection leads to the power button. How do you solder to a post/lead that’s flush to the pcb surface ? The exposed area left is about the size of a pin head. In the following photo they are circled in black
