so the corner of the pcb snapped off?? So long as there weren't any components on that piece you should be able to fix it. Could just be your new ant that is the prob! What are you using for a new ant??

pics please!! If no parts or copper tracks broke off with it, just find the track on which the antenna was origionally soldered, scrape the soldre mask(the green stuff)off so you can solder. Also, dont use more than a 10-15W soldering iron, or it'll happen again.......
