There are some people who have sucessfully resoldered broken pins, though if simply soldering to the pins in the first place was hard, I doubt that you can resolder a broken one.

i tried something similar, and i think it disconnected and reconnected, frying the diode with the charged cap. It still lights, but is dim. is this the LED effect?

chimo, that thread was very helpful. i think i've given up on this one and will just have to buy another soon, but i will definitely use some of those ideas (especially anchoring the pins with cement). thanks :D
