Only ONE corner actually had solder on it. Uploading photos.

Judging by the look of the flux left behind and the condition of the traces
on pins 30-34 and 64-68 as well lack of solder on 3 out of 4 contact points
of the uUSB, I'd say yes. If I can get the capacitors, I can resolder the
correct ones if need be. I have a scope here and a digital macro lens.
