Bout to go through mine and try this out, but I'm curious if anyone has put any kind of insulation behind it to keep this issue from repeating.

I found when soldering mine back on I looked at the back side of the flat resistors there is a solder area and I heated it and they stuck better too.

I just re-did mine today, did this 3 years ago, it died only a few months after that and I just left it until I was trying escape other work today... one of the 4 came loose again, I put a big gob on both ends so I don't expect this to last either.

look on the back side of the circuit board there is a square spot that is all solder I heated it and that is what made mine stick better.
