yes
you scrape the grean thing off the trace on a place it's not broken and solder a little wire to it
solder the other end to the LED and it's fixed ;)

I did the same and without sounding like a complete idiot, I followed the trace to the hole it leads to and soldered there, avoided and scraping etc. Many thanks, Nathan.
