No prob. glad to help :-).

mmm.. I did not use the VLab.  I was at work so just did a quick edit on
the PowerBook.  I may add the rest of the vid showing other components being
installed.  

Thanks, now I know how to solder! :p

Did you edit this with a VLab Motion Amiga?

You must have three hands to solder like that.

There is no doubt that the components and wires I solder get very hot.  Sometimes to the point where my finger/s can't stand it but I ignore the pain as much as I can.

Hi,

@Vlabguy1,

I usually have someone else hold the part in place on the board, that way if I burn a finger it will be someone elses. (My wife is really good at this and has had her fingers burnt several times, and no she is not blonde).

Yeah..I checked it out..um..na I gots much better skills than what I saw
in that video.  I don't need a third hand.

I always slab some some solder on one side first, re-heat and attach, then do the other side.  No fingertip burns, and no need for a 3rd hand.

(Not my vid, but the same technique as me)
