"Be careful not to scrape the metal rings surrounding the connectors off the logic board. If you accidentally scrape these off, you won't be able to reconnect the replacement battery."
Ok I did this. :(
Is there a way to recover? Can I repair the solder points? Can I attach elsewhere on the board?
Is this a good question?

theoretically it is possible to repair the solder points - but without seeing it - it's hard to tell
i use for "fired" solder points Conductive Silver - there are pens on the market - but i prefer the little bottles with a brush - even if i only need tiny lines - the bottle is much cheaper and i'm able to fix stuff that isn't fixable with the pen
if a solder point is gone - you can repaint it with the brush (or fin lines with a toothpick) - when the paint is dry - you can put the cable trough the hole and the try to fixate the cable with kapton tape, hot glue or something that would keep the cable in place - after you fixated the cable - use the silver paint to "connect" the cable and the painted solder point and let it dry - but do that as your last step - if the cable is properly fixated - it will stay in place and the contact will work properly

Is this what you're talking about or can you provide a better link? http://store.sra-solder.com/product.php?...
Those pens are cool! Quite useful.
yes - thats the pen (they even sell the exact same pen here) - overclockers use those pens - the are also useful when you have to draw something on a pcb - the pen is good, but if you need more "control" - use the stuff they sell in the small bottles, it's way cheaper, you can use a thinner and you can fix stuff that the pen can't
Awesome. The board is so small I don't think I can get a good picture. I cannot tell where the solder point is. In other words I have scraped away the little "ring" and I cannot see where on the board to paint the solder point to. Do you have a picture or wiring diagram? Thanks for your help. Rick
you can see the 3 solder points in step 17: iPod Nano 2nd Generation Logic Board Replacement
since i didn't have a 2nd gen. nano - i only can guess - most contacts of this type are on both sides - maye the cable could be soldered on the other side.
but since i don't know how far you got with your battery exchange - it's hard to say what the next step should be.
