LED help

[platinumc]

alright the joke's on me... how the f do you solder those leds ?

i spent all my last money to buy iron, wires, smd's, resistors, etc etc.. (was planning to start modding, to earn some money to go to university lol)

but they r so f'ing small... i even bought a magnifier glass, but still, its like playing with ants (but smaller)

how im supposed to solder led-wire-resistor-wire-led-wire etc? do i need to use a telescope or sth?

help appreciated :P.

i solder my wires and resistors to the led and look it came out good and i did the powerboard too and the only thing i messed upped on was the mobo  just get some tape put the leds backwards grab some flux put some on the led and wires grab some solder put some on the leds and wire again and then put flux again on both thing then solder wires to leds it works, but i messed upped really bad  on the mobo have u seen my thread

Practice SMD soldering if you find it difficult. Is wire to resistor then wire to LED, this goes for all the LED's

I use a microscope made for SMD work set at 20 power then rest hand and only use fingertips to move the iron.

I also have what looks like an alligator clip that allows me to grab and hold the resistors in place.
