Can I just bridge the two pads, assuming if there's anything left to bridge?

Presumably the resistor was there for a reason? Companies rarely splash out on a $0.0001 component for nothing.

There's usually a reason, but sometimes it's not integral to the operation of the computer, and it may operate suitably without it.

I don't think it matters. It looks like the resistor rotted off or something. It took out the pads and at least one trace. This is probably a junk board.

I'll let it dry a few days and test it.
