yes i know
well i'm just gonna try out my mouse for a bit. after opening it up i don't think there's anything wrong apparent
it does lose clicks when dragging sometimes
fuck!!
it does doubleclick lol
time to switch switch then
>It can be fixed by applying a thin layer of epoxy such as gorilla glue to the hammer.
ey i can do this
i'll do this first
yea na fuck that switch is fucked
well, i did it, but i'm pretty bad at soldering
well only way to get better at it = do it more often
i never actually properly learned how, just from doing it very rarely. just heat that lead up and drop it on the pcb awkwardly
(don't do it that way)
heat the pad up
and then apply solder to the pad
i'll watch a video
anyway yea i'm doing it wrong
a pad is the exposed copper on a pcb
ah okay.
that explains why the solder doesn't stick to the pad
because i am not heating the pad
solder won't stick if it's not hot yeah
only the solder
okay
you can put a little bit of solder on the tip to make the heat transfer better
wow that's beautiful
your solder probably has some flux inside of it, which is the white smoke you see
it burns off quite quickly
if you apply it to your iron it burns off before you even get to the joint
I've burnt many boards not doing it properly
so you don't really want to see white smoke
because you want to apply the flux and not burn it off
no, the flux always burns off
you just want it to burn off in the right place
