while soldering a motherboard yesterday... i left the iron near the PCB for too long and one of those tiny copper wires lifted itself off it's terminal off the board for a half inch or so. now i've seen computer run like a top w/blown capacitors and bent PCBs before... but this project is expensive and i'd hate to mess it up.

so should i attempt to resolder that tiny tiny tiny point? should i try to tape it down? should i leave it alone as see what happens? i'm going to have to solder some wires over this portion of the board later on... so i should make the best decision i can now as re-doing it later would be quite a hassle.

this has never happened to me before, anyone have any experience w/this? i'm a decent solderer... but i'd probably need a new (smaller) iron and a bit of luck to get it right. need some advice as quickly as possible.
