Post by steeler12 »

is it ok to use hot glue on the cart slot pins after they're soldered to make sure none of them fall off?

also, i accidently soldered the wires from the cart slot into the holes they were in, is it OK to bridge the wire sticking out of the holes to the place where the pins from the ext. slot were?

Yes, thats perfectly fine, just make sure everything is done right, it would suck to have to remove all that hotglue to fix something.

*Raises hand* Excuse me, but how does one go about getting the hotglue off? :P
