Any advice on reattaching LED wire on front arm landing gear

[beeflyin]

Trying to get out the LED light on the Air2S (still attached), the yellow wire is no longer attached. How to repair this?? I don't have a soldering iron, but would buy one if I knew what to get. Ugh. I need this drone this weekend, but don't want to fly it if its "dangerous" to be in the air.

You need to buy a new arm. You can fix the light BUT Are you new to soldering? I would purchase the proper parts and leave the Drone on the Ground until then.

Since that's just the LED light....I don't think I have to ground her just yet. But thanks!

No problem then You will need a good soldering iron, some De-soldering braid, 63/37 solder, and some No-Clean Flux.
First heat your iron to 350 no higher. Then place the braid onto the tab and carefully remove the solder, Clean the board with alcohol. strip the wire only to the size of the tab. Tin the wire. re-solder the wire to the board. clean, Re-assemble. FLY.

USE CAUTION WITH THE IRON OR YOU WILL "LIFT" THE TAB! then its trash.
You can try to just heat up the old solder and put the old wire back in place BUT thats weak and it wont last.
