L1 OOOOO
- - - - -
OOOOO

Do i conect all the dots vertically or just the first set?
On the Tom's Hardware vid it only shows one set being connected but I'm assuming I need to do em all right?

I just pop glue down the middle pits, then some ****e connecting the dots and I'm good to go!

Thanks again

He is refrencing just the L1 dots. They are located to the right of the L1 marking and are 5 pairs of "dots". I.E. you have to make five bridges only. Good pics are'nt they?

Does anyone know what "tool" was used to apply the paint?

[Silver]

though I do not know for sure, due to the consistancy of the lines my geuss would be a conductive pen. Possibly taped them but my geuss is a pen. See the three ripples on the beginning and end of each stroke and the consistantly straight edges. Flat tip? Variance in edge width would also indicate a flat tip, different angle of attack.

Obviously they have been done with PHOTOSHOP or some other image editing program. Use whatever make you feel comfortable & practice on something else, get creative & draw your own dots to cross before you attempt to do it for real.

Yeah, if you have never done it then these babies are small. Definately not for the timid.

OH, I've been practicing on my 1800+ enough to where I'm getting pretty good at it. I think today I'm gonna try a new approach (different parts suggested by different people)
I'm gonna fill the pits with a yellow crayon, take my dremel and file down a sewing needle, dob a bunch of my conductive pen ina dish, tape it off just like in the THG video, and give it a go this morning!
Wish me luck, 3rd times the charm right!

I'm working on this right now, so do you think a hobby shop or radio shack would have:

Reversable - Chemask. Squirt it on wait a few minutes then bridge L1 dots. Simple & fast. Great for soldering/volt mod jobs too

I tried to tape the bridges but noticed how easily the paint came off the eposxy so I free handed it. This is why after I was done I epoxied over the bridges.
