DUO on a V4

[carpe_01]

Thanks for the info and the pic on your website spedmetal. my laser is in great shape, loads all games right away. question: I see everyone seems to use hot glue to hold the wires to the mobo as well as on top of chips. is this really safe to do? also, as far as attaching the DUO to the mobo, what should i use?? anyone? hotglue?, doublesided tape?, what? one last question. how do the experienced members here solder the wires? in that, i mean, do you press the tip of the iron onto the point and then touch the solder? or get some on the iron first and then touch to the point. This is my first ps2 modding and i don't wanna mess it up. i'm not sure how sensitive the mobo is, i know not to touch it for more than 1-2 secs at a time...as for method, i'm just hoping some people suggest good ways to do it. I know i'm a noob at this and most people will just read and not reply, but please, we all had to start from scratch at one point. please, any hints and suggestions are appreciated.

thx again,
