Need Solder Experts Help!

Ok, was soldering, and it seems the solder point (the little silver square pad) came off...now it's just the board there, no point to put the solder on, how do i fix this :(

[Mr Snatcher]

What is the wattage of the soldering iron? I guess the only thing you can do is drop a bead in its place, assuming that whatever was connected to the other side is still there.

30w

What you do is take a hobby knife (razor blade) and you scrape off the trace going to that pad. Once you see the copper trace you can solder to it but be careful they are very fragile.

trying right now, will give results

An alternative is to follow the track(s) and use fine wire to bridge them. Also, 30w might be a bit big for working on fine tracks. If memory serves me right my iron is 15w with a needle point.:insane:

ok, scratched the 'spot' all it is, is a burnt black spot, lol, i cleaned it scraped it, and still nothing...i scratched on the green part around it and noticed some gold metal stuff, it's probably the tracing, well, does it work if i connected on those?

30W is to hot for curcuit board work. To hot of an iron will, as you have found out, lift the point right off the board. You need to get a 15W iron ($8 at Radio Shack). Yes the "gold metal stuff" are the leads. You can attempt to solder them together but I would recomend tracing both sides of the circuit to the next place that a wire could be soldered and using a fine wire (30 AWG) to bridge the point.
