Warning: Stupidity follows

In attempting to unsolder the old DC Jack (which I have not yet been able to do) I broke off a small piece of the motherboard where it was attached. It's pictured below (just to the right and down from the tip of my thumb). Is this fixable, or will I need to replace the motherboard?

Thanks

If there's any tracings (circuit lines) on that part, the board is toast. Most MBs have two or more circuit layers.

It's not the entire corner, only that side of the DC Jack. I was told there's a good chance it's fixable, and it's being looked at right now.

The problem with replacing the motherboard is that I was unable to find one for this model. Any help in that area (should it prove impossible to repair) would be greatly appreciated.
