I was getting ready to fix my lights and while searching the forum ran across this thread. As I am looking to see if it address two questions I have, I saw this post and even though it is old, I thought incase someone else runs into this issue, I might make a suggestion.
I wish I had a picture to look at, but usually the heat will lift a pad. It basically breaks down the glue that was holding the traces. Depending on how far back, sometimes you can fix it by carefully scraping some of the "green" off the attached etch exposing some copper. Then if you can bend the lead without shorting anything, or attach a jumper wire over to the lead.
