Is this SP easy saveable

Working on a GBA board where the volume slider is missing, and pad 4 is completely torn off. Before I start running a bodge wire, does anyone know if pad 4 is actually necessary for proper function? Or can I just install a new slider without worrying about it?

Appreciate any insights!
