Default mCX board to battery connectivity problems

The white and black cords that connect the battery to the circuit board aren't well connected on the board. It seems like it would be a soldering problem however there is a sort of white glue holding the wires to the board. The wires have become free of this glue and are now not making a constant connection to the board. How could I fix this problem? Without buying new soldering equipment (mine isn't fine enough for the board)

It is not really glue, but some type of silicon to make a stress relief. Just pick off all the white stuff and resolder and hot glue it where the white stuff was.

You will need to solder the connections, or find someone who can / will do it for you

The "white stuff" can be removed, it's similar to liquid tape compound

I noticed the OP said his soldering equipment was not up to the task...My remark intended to stress the soldering need even if he could not do it himself

Didn't intend to step on your toes, just made the point

Ok thanks guys, I guess I'll just just have to re solder it.Without the silicone it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Thanks for the help.
