My white Wiimote has a bad nunchuk port which I believe is from soldering that someone tried to and did a bad job

I'm going to try and switch the internals of my white Wiimote and black Wiimote

There's no way I possibly could break these unless I break the light strips again

If anything happens my awesome friend said he'll fix the soldering

I hope it goes well
