    Hacking Burned / removed pads?

    i really apologize for the double post. i have got the soldering done now, but i still have one or two questions which would probably never be noticed if i simply edited the above post. apparently two of my solder joints(between pads) are bridged together by a tiny amount of solder at their...

    Hacking Burned / removed pads?

    after many trials i have finally come to the point where i think i may be able to solder to the pins. i don't have the technical expertise to truly understand most of the advice that has been given in this thread and NONE of the stores in my town are helpful in the slightest(they all simply say...

    Hacking Burned / removed pads?

    all right, thanks a ton. only question i'd like answered now is whether or not i can still solder the chip directly to the motherboard(quicksolder it). i don't see how it would be if the solder can't connect to the pad's location now.

    Hacking Burned / removed pads?

    thanks, that does help... but those legs are insanely small. do you have a recommendation for something to cover the adjacent legs with? also, to do that should i use something smaller than stranded 28 awg wire, or does it not matter since i can just create a solder bridge from the pin to the...

    Hacking Burned / removed pads?

    Hacking Burned / removed pads?

    okay, i have a similar question. i'm a little unfamiliar with the terminology, but i'm guessing the "pads" referred to here are the silver soldering points that you solder the wires(or the entire wiikey) to. well, in soldering my wiikey, the final point(point 6) to solder... well, i soldered...

    Hardware Opening/Soldering the WII *INFO*

    seconding this question. every local store is out of 30AWG wire. is 28awg or larger acceptable? what's the largest acceptable size? does it have to be stranded or non-stranded wire? i saw an earlier post saying someone modded with a wiinja using 28awg, but i want more confirmation/want to know...

    Gaming Memorex OR Fujifilm DVD+DL which 1 for BRAWL??

    quick question: can you play the single-rip of the game with a single layer dvd or does even the single layer rip require a DL dvd? i'm assuming i can burn that rip with a dvd5 and it will be playable. also, is there a specific speed you have to burn it at?
