Hello GBAtemp!
I've done a few soldering jobs in the past but this one has got me stumped, i'm by no means experienced with a soldering iron but i believe i should be able to perform this with the right equipment, which is what has brought me here.
Basically i've bought a Modbo and have a Slim 7500x PS2, i've been using FreeMCboot for awhile but the whole swap disc and using PS1VmodeNegator to run NTSC PSX games has gotten to be abit much, the equipment i have for the job are:
-20watt Soldering Iron (no shop nearby stocked a 15watt, so i got this)
-Both Lead-free and 40% Lead solder
-30 AWG Kynar Wrapping Wire
i'm yet to buy any flux, cause i'm not sure the correct type to get, my current problem is the small holes in part 1 of the diagramhttp://sksapps.com/diagrams/ps2/Modbo4/V14-V15.jpg no solder will stick to these points.
There is 3 types of flux my local electronics store supply, a solder flux pen, a solder gel syringe and solder flux paste.
If anyone has any experience with installing a Modbo into a slim, i'd greatly appreciate some assistance.
Thanks in advance
