Lifting a Pad from the PCB

[cominginsecond]

I'm working on my N72, and I've accidentally lifted a pad while removing a component. I don't think the pad is connected to a trace, so is it actually a big deal that it was lifted from the PCB? Do I still need to repair it/get it repaired?

No, but be extra careful from now on.

Me did stoopid thing....

I soldered the LED (D1?) in wrong on my 1st A12 (didn't notice the flat side of the bulb that matches with the flat side of the PCB!!) and had to pull it and reverse it.... In the process one of the pads looked like it lifted... I successfully soldered it back in the right way round, but should I be worried about this? I have not had a chance to power it up yet.... thought I'd ask and hopefully get an answer before I get that far....

I just re-soldered it and it worked fine. I've been using my pres since late August with no problems or unwanted noise. I'm sure the connection's good and I'm not worried about it anymore. Do you have any problems with yours?
