Hi
I have a nokia 3200 mobile whose power switch was detached. How can I
solder it back on?
Should I be using a soldering gun with a rosin core solder?

As you know the surfaces are too small and this in addition to the
intensive heat could destroy the board.

How can this be done the right way? Is there some sort of liquid solder
suitable for mini-components ?


You need a fine tipped iron, some fine solder and some SMT skills,
definitely NOT a soldering gun! If the switch is detached, are you sure it
didn't take the solder pads with it? That would make a straightforward
repair into a very tricky or even impractical one.

Can I have (pointers to) more instructions as to how to solder the
switch?
What are solder pads?
The contact points are silver if this helps.
I did manage to power on the mobile by connecting those points via a
wire
