i was soldering a circuit PCB but i accidentally pulled a soldering base which is connected to some pin of processor. by pushing soldering iron on it
now i cant solder any wire to that pin bcz there is no metallic base at that pin
could somehow the metallic base can be fixed so that i could solder it with some wire

Hello bobparihar

It's hard to guess: what is. How is it, does it look like. A picture would help a lot.
Take a picture of the damaged part and upload.

otherwise we are just guessing.

Ok, first off... That Soldering Iron is WAY too hot.
Turn it down to about 450-500 F or about 200 degrees Celsius.

It appears that the yellow wire below 12 was pushed up through the joint and was soldered in place there.

So, what happened was you pushed that wire trough the joint with your iron.

You need to heat the solder joint back up and press the wire through from underneath the board, when you do that, the wire will bring most the solder with it, youll need to add more to the joint.

1. you should degrease the board with lighter fuel + remove all loose tin pieces.

2. there are two methods: scratch the thin PCB track until you get bare copper, or solder a thin wire to the processor pin. Guessing how the board looks like, you'd have trouble with that...

did you use flux on the board? if you cause a bridge on the processor pins, you need to flux it, and use a desoldering pump.

Scratch away the green solder mask that covers the trace and solder a piece of wire-wrap wire (30 AWG). You only need to remove about 1mm of solder mask and the same length of insulation off that end of the wire.

the wire (yellow ) below that 12th pin is supposed to be connect with the 12th pin.. but as you see there is no metallic base anymore at 12th.. so how can i solder it again..
could anyone show me some video for doing that.. i am pretty novice player for soldering circuits

The wiring point pad is gone - the only thing you can do is clean off the flux and debris so you can see the track leading to where it was.

The only thing you can do now is carefully scrape off the solder resist varnish from the track so you can see some bare copper to solder to.

The big problem is; you won't be able to solder the original wire to that narrow track - you're going to have to bodge it!

If you have a scrap PC card with a line of gold contact "fingers" on the edge, and a pair of tin-shears, you can cut out a single contact and superglue it on where the pad is gone. It looks like a light duty signal line, so you should be OK stripping a single strand from some flex to patch from the track to the bodge pad that you glued on.

Oh! - and turn the iron down a bit - what's left of that track is your last best hope, and the glue under the bodge won't take much heat either.

iam a novice player for soldering stuff..plz share some video so that i can understand
Scrounge some scrap boards from a local factory/small PC shop and practice soldering on them.

Its doubtful whether you'll learn anything practical from watching someone else do it.
