Fixing another data recovery companies BAD soldering work

This hard drive has a usb pcb and the connector was broken off. The owner took it to a data recovery company who claimed they were professionals and experts with 5 years experience. The soldering on this USB was very bad and a lot of damaged was done to the pcb usb connector and the screws. I was able to repair this hard drive pcb and get it working for data recovery.

I was going to say, wouldn't a small piece of enameled wire to join the pin to the newly scratched off trace been better than pulling the pin out slightly? Guessing you're only interested in the data recovery though? Especially with the 15 SMART "drop" errors, guessing the drive isn't suitable to be used afterwards as its now deemed unreliable and just be backed up, wiped and discarded?

You could. Small pieces of enameled wire are hard to work with though as the enamel needs to be stripped back. You also need to be careful with USB wires that your not interferring with differential signaling wires
