Anyone soldered a neo12 to a ver 9? Help!

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!

Eureka (with caveats)!

If the whole pad thing is described as in Shadowknyghts via filling thingey then I've grasped it...tell me it is so...?

well as far as the modchip goes its lame! what i would do is scrap this chip. If you need a chip go on www.mrmodchips.com and get a matrix infinity or dms3 as these are the most reliable modchips avaliable as well as the duo 2 v reliable 2
