You overheated the board and lifted a pad. Now everything related to that
is going to have to come off the board, the lifted bit replaced with a piece
Hello Scott,
I got my hands on a multimeter, and I checked continuity. The "lifted" pad that I soldered seems to conduct current quite fine, even if it looks uglyish. (Second soldering from left) Basically everything checked out except the nicest looking first solder. Huh? I gently removed the soldering, checked the two bare pads themselves - no continuity! No wonder then!

These two were unconnected in the original setup. So I tested the two other pads of that triplet which used to be connected. Also no continuity! I did blow something, then, perhaps the nearest soldering to the left of those pads. I noticed how it kept getting darker as the work dragged on; it wasn't too glossy to start with.
Do I call Precision Radio?
