Ripped Wires out of Dinotte
Ok lesson for the day. Don't leave your dinotte's or any other light's wire dangling ever.
I had removed the bag with the battery from my bike so my dinottes tailight's wire was dangling when I hung my bike up on the wall. I went to take my bike off the wall to show my wife something and stepped on the wire before lifting the bike. Instant non-functional dinotte.
Is there any magic stuff I can use to connect the wires back to their solder spots that doesn't involve shipping them back to dinotte or me ruining it with a soldering iron? The lights still work when I touch the wires to the proper pads I just need them to stay there. Sweating copper pipes I can do but I'm not a delicate situation soldering person.
