Thank you! I'll make a third attempt tonight. Problem I think is I got a soldering gun (weller) because it was all my hardware store had. The tip is not a point like the video above. I can't do the method he is demonstrating....

A soldering gun is a little overkill for this little job. Gonna make it harder.

Put the end to the pin and get it hot for a few seconds. Then bring the wire in to the tip and let it melt and draw down the pin. You are going to wrestle with that gun to get close in to the board.

Yeah totally. It's super hard to keep it steady too and I think it is getting too hot for this application. I will try your method.

Let me know how it goes.

Remember cypherpunks write code and cyberpunks solder.

Good luck!
