Can't solder..is there an alternative
Here's the deal. I have a x2.2Lite+ installed. The problem is it keeps moving and I have to open the thing up and realign it.
I was on another board and saw that guys have been soldering a wire to DO and the top of the contact post on the chip. This solves the problem because you can tighten the chip down enough that the remaining contacts stay put.
The thing is I can't solder at all and don't know anyone who can. I saw some stuff by the soldering stuff at Home Depot. It was a room temperature flexible conductive silver epoxy adhesive. It is touted as an alternative to solder that will bond at room temp to metal, plastic and ceramic materials. Has anyone ever seen this stuff, or does it sound like anyhting that will work?
Is there a place I can go to learn how to solder a wire to DO...a site with pictures and specific directions. I may have to give it a shot!!
