also, if you start to have problems, or your hands get shakey, lay off the caffine, go rest for a while, take a nap, and start again when you are fresh. It can really help.

That just depends on your experience. You can have as much wattage as you want as long as you know how to use it. Wattage doesn't necessarily mean how hot it gets, but how much heat capacity there is. Inexperience plus a 50w iron can destroy an xbox faster than you can say xecuter rox my box... literally ;)
Thx for the info :)
I have soldered a lot of things so iam experienced in soldering since 1½ years back, I did just wonder if 50w was to much for this work?
lol nice pic fretster :D

Yeah, well like I said, it just depends on the user. If you think you can handle 50w without holding it on the board to long and burning everything up, then by all means go for it. Just know that it's not necessary at all, and it will make it easier to screw up if you don't know what you are doing.
