Well, after much conceptualizing I "think" I managed to work out the illustration: Feel free to patronize me if I'm wrong guys......
Solder chip to board using wiring "front of PS2 board" :
A, S, VCC (thick yellow wire), Z, RST (thick yellow wire), R, W. {7 solder points}
Solder chip to board using wiring "back of PS2 board" :
F,B,G,H, I. {5 solder points}
This is the 12 wires they refer to in their advertising blurb. Am I right so far
Next is the bit "pre-soldered pads" P,O,N,M, GND, and Q,T,U,V. {9 in total}.
This makes 21 solder bits in total. Is that the correct methodology?
I still can't get a satisfactory thought from my brain cube as to how the hell these "pads" connect. Does an idiot heat the pre-soldered pad and stick a bit of wire to it to effect the joint between mobo and chip or is the pre- soldered pad heated to the board directly via some dark necromancy - surely not Harry? Only the deftest (daftest??) would do that
In a word....HELP!
