No problem

OK in order to avoid damaging the controller chip, ie the big black square, foir the heat of the soldering or any mistakes its better to find the nearest component that it is connected or shorted to. You can do this by either having very good eye sight and tracing the copper traces on the board or much easier and safer using a multimeter with a continuity tester that buzzes when there is a short. place one probe on the correct chip pin of the controller and start trying the ends of the SMD capacitors and resistors near that area, when you find one that is connected use it as the soldering point instead.

Hope that helps
