| Jun 4, 2020 at 12:35 | comment | added | QuickishFM | This almost serves as nightmare fuel - but it can be forgiven as it's your first time. You should watch some videos of soldering (not GreatScott) to get a gist and then practise. If you happen to have flux then that will make it much much easier to get a good joint. You want to heat the actual PCB pad itself along with the pin and then apply solder to the corner to connect both the pad and the pin. | |

| Jun 4, 2020 at 9:16 | comment | added | user | Would help to know what soldering iron you have, and what tip. The conical tips that most come with are useless. | |

| Jun 3, 2020 at 15:58 | comment | added | user1850479 | There are great tutorials on youtube explaining how to solder. You should take a look, as you are not applying the iron correctly in ways that will be hard to understand in text but are very obvious when seen in video. | |
| Jun 3, 2020 at 15:57 | comment | added | jsotola | i see some wire in the background ... cut two 10 cm pieces ... strip 5 cm of insulation from each of the pieces .... twist the bare ends .... touch the soldering iron to the very end of the wire ... wait for the wire to get hot .... touch the solder to the wire about 1 cm away from the soldering iron tip ... the solder should melt and soak into the twisted wires | |

| Jun 3, 2020 at 15:47 | comment | added | Eugene Sh. | Oh no. Cold solder, pads are not connected, short-circuit between pins. | |
