> I suppose you could do that. Also, I would've taped down the card.
The first one I tried melted the plastic fater than I could get the wires soldered (and I was using a cheap 25w iron). Taping the card wouldn't fix that problem, and taping the contacts down when removed would just give me melted tape all over the contacts.
I'm going to wait for the helping hands thing to come in, along with my soldering station. Then, I'm going to cut the super-thin part of the contacts with the springy loop thing off(the adpter I'm using isn't made quite the same as the pic I posted), before trying again.
EDIT: and... I just watched a few youtube videos about flux. I haven't been using it the way I should.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
