Laptop repair issue

[easybake]

Ok I was disassembling my laptop to fix a problem with loose wires. When I got to removing the RTC battery i heard a little tear and realized where it was soldered to the system board, it ripped off of here is a picture.

The question is, how screwed am I?

What is the best way to fix it. It looks as if one of the lines that ran underneath where it was soldered has also torn.

Any ideas? Thanks



Its a compaq v5000

If the battery measures 3 volts and is making contact, don't worry about it.

If the battery is weak, replace it, but you don't need to solder it in place.

Make sure you didn't damage any resistors or other small components on the board.

You might have to solder a jumper to repair a broken surface trace.

Hello

Looks like you have messed up the board you could try some track repair liquid you can get it from maplins, but if the track is a plated through one I dont hold out much help as most motherboards have multi layer tracks could be 5 individual layers with the board.
