Ok,
over the last 2 weeks i have preparing and improving my soldering skills.Today i recived all the neccessary parts for my rgh on my SLIM trinity. i ran out of the soulder i normaly use so i ran out to maplins and bought some lead free solder with the excat same ingreidents 99.3 percent something and 0.7 copper alloy. and i think the solder was allot larger than my old 0.6mm and this one was 1mm. ok So i stared the proccess felling confident all ready 2 go. I stared soldering and relised it was takkkking agggges to melt the solder with my 40watt soldering iron (fairly heigh) and it would not melt unless i added massive ammounts of pressure and this was dangerous as i was slipping and dammaging my xbox and kept on buring my self
so i gave up on soldering the qsb and took out the cables and desodered the points i had mannaged to barly solder on to the boaed and qsb. I then cut the end of the qsb wires so i could directly do it with wires. i then became stressed with the crappy solder and kept on bridging the joints. i could no desolder these bridges so i used a scalping knife to get rid of the solder and then gave up and had a break. I then took the risk to turn on the xbox and it booted perfectly. I need some help and i have ordered some different solder from amazon, it should be coming in 3-5 days so i need some quick advise and also i have cleaned my soldering iron and tip and soaked it in warter so thats cool now. I then went back on to my practise xbox and tryed to solder a point and it wouldent even attach to the board(I'm using rosin flux pen) i really need some help thanks ash
