if the traces are gone, you could always find alternative points.
the 12V one should be easy, for the ground, well it's everywhere.
the third pin on the right (pwm) maybe the hardest one, but i think there should be a testpoint also on the board to solder a wire too.

but i don't know even your board model number.

EDIT: @plugbroken , i do understand that this soldering on such small traces can be a bitch, it's not for me either, so if you can't get the connector or wires soldered back or getting it repaired by others, you could always consider a fanmod, you just set it to a speed and you can solder the needed 12V to decent points. (the sprongs on the mainboard)

P.S from what country are you from?

[plugbroken]

im from U.S, so you means without the traces it cannot solder it back? im kindda remember mine is JTP-001 but not sure im planning to go to the computer repair shop hoping they could fix it wish me luck... got my E3 flasher in the day i broke the plug that make me feels so unlucky that i might brick my PS3 too lol do you think i should send mine to another to downgrade for me, although i'd read the baileyscream guide carefully before a week to be prepare.. one more thing can you give me a simple link of the wire on ebay because i haven't bought one yet i think they could've be different size and i dont want to waste my money... anyway thanks for everything and have a nice weekend

on the other side of the board there are also traces for the same points, so it should work again, but since you don't have that much experience with soldering, (even for people with experience these solder points can be too small)
it's best to have it repaired..

technically two points can even be soldered by an ape, because there's no way you can screw them up.
in this case i'm talking about soldering wires, and not the connector, but the third point, need a little patient, and it's probably on the back side of the board.

update: got myself to the computer repair shop and got fixed!!
first i go to the shop with the banner phone+computer+xbox360+ps3, i tell him if it could be solder back he checked and said no i even tells him the way you show me solder it with the wire + i show him some pictures from ifixit the answer was still the same... then go checking around for some shops ( im going to the swap shops because the other computer repair shop close at sunday) but finally i found one and i show him that the plug need to solder back to the motherboard + i didn't tell him have to solder it with the wire either, he said ok and it will cost 20 bucks ( its kindda too much, but have to fix it...) and finally this is the pictures, this is exactly what you talking about right if you dont mind can i ask you when i have problems with E3 flash downgrade thanks




one more question do you know where can i put this metal on the center to where used to be? ( my model is cech-2501A)

yes, i would have thought they needed the wire to be soldered to the other side.

about the downgrade you'll be better of with @baileyscream or @playerkp420 , and for the metal they should know it too, i never dissasembled a ps3 slim.

[playerkp420]

That metal piece goes on the right front. Above the HDD bay.

[redtree]

It goes in this area, forget which way around though
