  Preparation Steps

  Before to Solder is very useful take in count this directions

  • Clean all the solder points, whit a soft dissolver. I use a old toothbrush, wet in dissolver.
  • The solder process is more easy, if you pre-solder the strip portion of the wire, it could be made as follow:
    • Melt some solder, in the tip of the iron
    • Dab some flux paste on the end of the wire
    • Put the end of the wire over the tip of the iron, you'll see the end of the wire more shining
  • Is very useful too, pre-solder the cooper pads in the board chip as in the ps2 board, it could be made as follow:
    • Dab some flux paste to the cooper pads on the motherboard using a toothpick or something thin, do not use a metal point.
    • Approach the solder core and the iron to the pad, to deposit some solder over the pad
    • Don't leave the iron over the pad more that 1 or 2 second, the excessive heat could damage your board, especially in the PS2

    Before	After

  • When you finish all the install, clean again whit the toothbrush and dissolver, it would remove the excess of flux paste, and some extra solder.
