Chosen Solution
So while I was taking apart my girlfriends Iphone X, I accidentally poked a hole into the battery trying to fish out the adhesive strip which of course screwed up the battery and it started smoking. I was able to eventually get it off (took hours to carefully scrape without bending and snapping the battery and causing more trouble). But i noticed that the top part of the wireless pad is slightly scratched with some of the copper exposed. I can’t test to see if it works because I also broke the ribbon of the volume buttons so I’m ordering that part and am waiting. I just wanted to know if I also have to purchase a new wireless pad. Thanks.
If a trace isn’t broken you should be fine, if there is copper exposed, that doesn’t mean that the connection is broken, but you should cover it with some kapton tape to ensure there will be no risk of shorting.
