If you're near to me then I could help out by removing the tsop and reading the key using a Willem programmer.

Obviously then you'd have to buy a replacement dvdrom drive though...

PM me if you're near to Glasgow

Although you probably shouldn't really be near a soldering iron if you ripped a trace, why not just repair said trace you ripped? RDC has a nice tutorial on repairing broken traces on Xbox controllers, the same crap applies to DVD drives.

Anyone with a bit of skill should be able to repair the trace w/o much issue. Just scrap back the trace that was lifted, solder a 30 gauge wire to it, then solder the other end to the other side of the lifted trace.

As far as I can tell the traces on the 79FL's TSOP bus all terminate at the point you'd solder a socket to, with the exception of a couple which go on to reach the round test pads.  Just make sure you've got no shorted traces and your drive should boot.
