Hi. welcome onboard.

better practise on some dead PC mainboards (with soldering flux) before working on Xbox MB.

Some tipps how it works great for me:

1. apply flux to point and cable | 2. Apply tiny amount of solder to your soldering iron | 3. Tap point once with it (The point should hold some solder now)

4. Apply solder to your wire too | 5. Remove rest of solder from your soldering iron with desoldering wick (It should be clean now) |

6. Hold cabel in position to point and tap it once again with your Iron

common mistakes:

Dont hold your iron to long, tip points just once or twice (thats enough as long its heated up properly)  | To long while to hot - Result: Lifing pads

Dont use to much solder -> less means more here

 

Dont worry, you will improve we all did start :)

Thanks for the great advices! I've been skipping the flux part a lot, I should stop doing that... Lifting pads, been there, done that :P
