Ah ok, I was thinking of a full dynamic emissions test. Erm, clipping things on the leads and playing with them will damage the leads, potentially breaking them. Since the socket has just naturally fallen off due to dry solder I'd put it back together first. - A bit of work that MIGHT be not worthwhile, but will be safest to do straight away.
