help my psone screen

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

I'd say solder them there good, then glue them down with some hot glue

Yep, solder, hold, and hot glue. And is it possible to trace the leads back and scrape off some PCB and wire it there?

Yes, it is ;).

If you break (or broke..) those traces off completely (after you had sucessfully soldered to them) you can still connect the wire to the cap near the 7805 on the right side of the board, and the audio can go to some little component a little under that cap. Trace the..er, traces, and you should be able to find out where to solder. Make sure you use hot glue afterwards to keep the connections in place :).
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
