There is no alternative solder point, that's the whole point of the postfix adapter is that they removed the trace to the post, so you have to have that spring pin pressing against the connection under the CPU in order to get a post_out.

I've done the same thing now and broken off the pin on my postfix adapter, and am seeing replacement spring pins on ebay for cheap, but don't know the right size.

Example:

I'm thinking smaller is better, and maybe I'll order a few and post here if I find a good replacement.
