soldering question

[mbetea]

hi,
wasn't sure where to post this, but i think more people in this forum would know. so, this might be a little hard to explain, but here goes. how hard (or if it's possible) is it to solder a jumper onto a board? here is a picture of what i'm refering to: <A HREF="http://www.justedit.com/products/dvraptor-images.php3#pci" target="_new">here</A> see the jumper on the left side at the front? how hard would it be to solder something like that to this:<A HREF="http://www.justedit.com/products/dvraptorrt-images.php3#pci" target="_new">here</A> the space and pins are there, but it just seems like it needs to be hooked up? and is there anything hardwired into the board were it would not let the jumper function even if it was soldered on? hope i didn't make it too confusing, thanks if anyone has some input.

well if luck is a lady, it explains why i have no luck :frown:

Wow. I'd be impressed if you could do that by hand. There's nothing on the board that should prevent you from doing it, but keeping pins strait is gonna be a bear. Not to mention the fact that there's a good chance you'll short the board if you accidently use too much sod..sold..sode..the metal stuff =) Best of luck on that project.

I've done up to four pins. You need to hold the pin and apply heat to the pin until it melts throught the solder, then stop.

Back to you Tom...
