So I have a 4870 here handed down to me from Janus67. He voltmodded it, however its got a loose wire. I see where it goes, and the wire still has a blob of solder on the end of it.
I tried to fix it quickly the other day, but it was a no go.
I heated up my iron, put the wire/blob where it needs to go, then pressed down on top of the blob with the iron, holding it there until it melted. Once it melted, I took the iron off. I let it sit to cool but when I went back and touched the wire, it wasn't bonded as I had hoped.
What am I doing wrong?
