broken stamp pin

The VIN pin on my bs2 currently snapped off and disappeared. I soldered on a small piece of wire in it's place and it seemed to do the job for a few days but now I am getting the message informing me that a stamp was not found. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so can you offer any advice?

    About all you can do is to try to solder on a piece of wire to substitute for the pin as you've done. If the wire is too small, you may have an intermittent connection. You could try redoing your repair with a thicker or stiffer bit of wire. If you still can't get it to work, contact Parallax Support.

    you can supply power by the Vdd also ,, but it has to be 5V regulated.
