soldering to pcb's
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:58 pm
i have bought an (origional) xbox with the sole intention of running linux on it .
For a while i have been presented by situations where soldering to the little holes in pcbs lined with solder is needed , below is a picture of exactly what i need to do , from what i can see they are less than 1/2 a mm across , is there a techniques to it or shall i do it as shown in the picture , my main concern is soldering them and snapping them off completely rendering the xbox useless.
