Years ago when I used to fix televisions and other consumer electronic products, 
I found a "trace pen" to be useful on occasion.  This is basically what it 
sounds like.  A pen, with a conductive ink.

It won't have the holding power of solder.  But if you can restore your 
electrical connection, you can probably firm things up with a little CA glue.
