Default Need help I screwed up my remote

I was just now trying to mod my airtronics MX-3 with a 3 way switch to control my VF dig and I think I messed up the control board removing the old switch. I was trying not to heat it up to much but the switch wouldnt come out so i had to try it like 5 or 6 times before it finally came out. Well when it did part of the control came off to and if i am thinking right now I dont have anything to solder the wire too. Is there a way to fix it or maybe somewhere else I can find that output at?

None of the pics turned out real good so there are like 4 of the same thing







And this is what it is supposed to look like. This remote belongs to a friend of mine I borrow it to take it apart so that I knew for sure where to wire everything up at.

Default can't see so good

It's really hard to see what you are dealing with,try setting your camera to macro.

I dont know how to set the camera to macro or what that even is but I just now took a little video maybe that will help out. Basically what happened is the green part of the control board came off and now there is no metal there to solder to anymore. I will post the video when it gets done loading.

I could be wrong, but I think you have ruined the board, looks like you got it too hot when you where soldering.

That is kind of what I am thinking. I tryed not to heat it up to much but I couldnt get the switch out so I had to keep trying and then that happened. I am thinking maybe someone that does work on control boards may know of a way to fix it though.

Here is the video. Not sure if it really shows anything more than the pics though.
