Wires fell off

This is a link to a picture that I hope will show my problem.

It has been over a month since I worked on this.

It is the same flashlight project I posted earlier.

The flashlight switch has 3 postions.

4 White LEDS are on

Off

One red LED that blinks.

Two wires that go from go from (a) to (b) have fallen off.

I would like to know where they are supposed to go.

The picture is not good enough for me.
"B" has only two places where wires are likely to go, Look closely at "A"
and see if there are grooves in the solder where wires pulled off, or pieces
of wire left.

It will help if you also showed the opposite sides of the PCBs.

I will scan it and post it.

I can't answer your question directly because I'm not sure what
pcb 'b' is for. Is it part of the switch or of the battery
contacts? Anyway, this is a schematic of what I think the wiring
should be. Can you take it from there?

One side of b (Copper clad) comes into contact with a battery pack of
3 AAA cells.

I want to make sure of where the wires go.

One time I hooked up the red LED wrong and burned it out. :)

Which are the positive and negatives sides of your battery
representation?

Top is positive, bottom negative. But I'm making an assumption

here because all the LEDs have one terminal wired together on the
PCB and that's most often the cathode (negative), but this is not
necessarily always the case.

I will try it.

The flashlight was only $3. :)
