    Is this solder or glue?

    I am replacing the digitizer on a friends HTC One X. I moved a flexible circuit board and a copper square fell off. I was going to just re-wet the square but I stopped because the solder looked more like an adhesive. I am hoping that someone here can tell me if this is an adhesive (and what kind) or if I am crazy and I just need to wet it again. I took a close up pic with the pad resting on a screwdriver next to the spot it fell off of. Thank you for your help!

    hard to tell from that pic....but it *looks* like solder.... On flex boards, its usually glue though.

      That's glue. It was holding the pad that you lifted in place. Is the track still connected to the pad? If so, just glue it back in place... Most people recommend cyanoacrylate, I personally don't like it since it leaves residue all over the place when it evaporates. Maybe a very thin layer of some sort of tack glue.

They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."
