So I was modding my gameboy advance to have a backlight, everything was going good until I got to the soldering part. I went in over my head, and ****ed up. This picture illustrates what I did wrong:

The red shows where there should be separate soldering points, but unfortunately I combined two of them. Does anyone have any tips on how to go about fixing this?
 
solder sucker works fine,just heat the solder to liquid and suck it up.be careful not to burn one of the pathways in the pc board tho.
 
Yeah I found out about solder suckers after I posted this, I was gonna go pick one up after later today. One question though, once I remove the solder, I just resolder the point? Will the solder still attach to it? Thanks for your help guys.
 
yep,just resolder the connection.dont use too much solder as that is usually why it spreads out like it did the first time.remember,dont melt the solder with the iron but let your component melt it,so you dont get a cold solder joint.
