I'm not good at soldering myself but can offer simple tips:

  • patience, have lots of it.
  • get conformable. sitting, standing, whatever, make sure your work it at a nice working height for you
  • have lots of work space
  • have good lighting, adjustable, movable. (flashlight)
  • watch you tube videos that reflect as closely as possible what you want to do. (good videos, at least three)
  • practice with something worthless to get a feel for how the solder will flow.

    Supplies to make it easier (Amazon (canada) links of stuff the I have bought for my similar attempt.)

  • soldering pen (iron) [I have an older, cheaper, non digital version]
  • thin solder (there are probably better deals)
  • flux (very important for hope of a decent solder)
  • wick (helps to clean up the old solder, and helps if you get too much solder on your new attempt)
  • magnifier
  • tweezers and spudger kit (you might find something else more suitable)
  • magnifier with tweezers (probably not necessary for this project)
  • new part (if you can reuse the one you have, great)
  • backup new part (my part was under $3, so I ordered a spare)
  • heat resistant tape (probably not necessary, might help hold the part in place)

    and of course try to avoid getting smoke in your eyes, and burning yourself.
