basic soldering/circuit board question (1 Viewer)

[Diddles]

I'm trying to fix a circuit board on a child's toy. One of the leads from the battery to the circuit bard is loose. But if I touch the wire to the board while the toy is switched on, it's still not working. so, do I HAVE to solder it back on in order for it to work or is something else probably wrong with it.

if your definitley touching the right part then its broke somewhere else.

have you tried more then one battery??

I scraped off some of the soldering and got it connected. I don't have a soldering iron though so I stuck it on with duct tape.

Thanks for the help
