wireing the contr.

Post by vladsokar »

I;m having a bit of diffulcty rewireing the contr back together. there so close together one the central contr mb. what's the best way? I've tried soldering wire right to the top of the circut board but it's very fragil and doesn't hold a good connection. I thought about drilling through the board but i can't find a bit small enough? what size drill bit would or should i look for? or should i just try my hand at soldering to toe top of the board again?

Sand the traces a bit until you can see the actual copper, then use flux when you solder the wire on.

1/32" drill bit, they are barely worth buying cause they break so much.

Once you have soldered the wire use hot glue gun glue to hold it down
