When you push it down is it touching a metal connection (metal to metal) or is it just attached to the board, if its not metal to metal then a tiny bit of glue might work but dont use glue if its a metal to metal connection.

tbh im not sure what it is. I would think it is metal but. its black on the 'board'

If its black then dont use glue on it, take it down to your local unlocking shop as it is and ask them to solder it, they wont charge you for this if you ask them nicely as it will only take them a second or 2. Aslo just ask if what has happened will have shorted it as I cant really tell from the pictures if it will have or not, if it hasnt then they will have a tool that will do it. Again they shouldnt charge.

if it is blacck on the pcb then you have prob lifted the pad from the pcb, so you cannot now resolder it down. you maybe able to find another point on the pcb you can connect to by follow the track with multimeter. im not sure if it needs the battery to work or if it is just to store info while main battery is removed. you may find it will be ok without it but will lost all settings when main battery is removed (at least thats what happens on most nokias)

Will try without it but im not sure what's going to happen.

But if nothing. Will take it down and see what they say
