Traace Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited July 24, 2018 by Traace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been skipping the flux part a lot, I should stop doing that...

Puttycat Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I agree with the soldering advice as it takes a little time and patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
