I'm scared...

On my PSONE screen, I soldered a wire to video in pin...but it got caught with audio...and the solder went INSIDE the spaces. Now am I screwed, as in am I doomed to knowing that audio and video are connected...and if they are, and I run power, would it fry?

If you short the audio and video traces, no. You'll be fine, but you won't get any signal. Try to fix the problem before you turn it on though

if you dont have some copper braid, get some. it is very useful if youre doing solder work. it absorbs the solder like a sponge. like a sponge!

Why don't you just take a desoldering iron and suck it up that way? I know what you mean by being scared of frying your screen...I mean mine smoked three times and didn't die. Not to mention one of the times smoke filled my basement while my parents were playing cards down there

Oh noes! Looks like we have another trangression committed right here

The rules specifically state, "No Spongisms Allowed"

I'm going to Radio Shack tommorrow, to get some stuff, thanks...but about inputting the video and audio directly on the back of the board....in those spots, I don't have pins but flat copper areas, so what about that

. Thanks and a MERRY CHRISTMAS and my birthday to all!
