It actually broke off without too much damage to the board.
It looks like only one track was lifted.
That's good & makes it easy to repair.
I had to make my Lodestar very secure as per this photo

It uses a plastic holder:

& needed a further tying down.
The tape is just used as a pad & is not around the wires.
