you sure you bridged the fuse properly? when i bridged mine i did a bad bridge. then i re-bridged it and it worked fine

Yeah me Too, I had to re-bridge also, then good as new

be sure u tin the connectors then use flux to get the connection to work. mine connection for my backlight fuse was a nice little blob of solder

That way probably the problem i just found some flexible silver wire and solder it on, Now that think about it sound pretty stupid, can someone tell me what you guys use for soldering and where to get it from the tin or whatever and the flux and a store .

Please and thanks you

Would this work??

i use 60/40 lead/tin solder... mainly because my solder irons tip contains zink and lets just say i made the mistake once of using silver solder and it was like acid on my tip... so got a new and only use 60/40 and u can get this at just about any local hardware store or radio shack.... i normally get it from this place called fishers but its a small time local hardware store

budgray19 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 23, 2010, 09:19:55 PM »

yea i wouldnt recommend lead solder...
i just got mine at (i know not many people have it) radio shack and have used silver bearing solder. the iron was only 10 bucks

Demonboy · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2010, 09:48:24 PM »

i like silver but it eats my tips :/... where can i get a tip that it wont eat through?

budgray19 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 24, 2010, 07:34:59 AM »

my tip dosnt look too good either but i dont tin it like im suppose to. but the very tip is silver and clean. honestly i dont change tips on the soldering iron. if it heats up it still good to me. and i can get tips for liek 1 to 2 bucks at radio shack for my iron. so replacing them isnt a problem for me soo.. yeah

Modded Matt · « **Reply #12 on:** March 24, 2010, 08:16:53 AM »

use a bastard file to reshape the tip, and remove buildup.

gman2233 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 24, 2010, 03:07:31 PM »

k thanks

Demonboy · « **Reply #14 on:** March 24, 2010, 03:18:15 PM »

k thanks for the tips on the tips lol and im getting a new iron and wanted to ask if it was any good.... its a cordless 1 tht uses lighter fluid... have any of yal used 1 like tht b4?

budgray19 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2010, 09:38:10 PM »

no but sounds like its not worth it unless u need emergency soldering where theres no power available. otherwise itll get pricey after a while

Demonboy · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:08:09 AM »

lol my dad is a smoker he has the fluid laying around lol and im really intrested in how it can heat up hot enough for soo long lol its only like 5 inches tall

SN!P3R · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2010, 04:54:44 AM »

a butane iron? I heard they are very good, but Ive never used them my self..

budgray19 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2010, 11:41:40 AM »

if u have alot of spare butane around then yea
im interested in how it heats it. probably with a flame of some kind to a very conductive metal

Modded Matt · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2010, 12:04:23 PM »

the only butane irons I have ever seen use an open flame to heat the solder, these are mainy used in construction when soldering copper pipes. do not, I repeat donot try to solder anything inside an electronice device with an open flame torch

Demonboy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2010, 11:14:16 PM »

lol matt... i know im dumb... maybe even a little retarded, but eveen i know better than to use a open flame... and this 1 doesnt have a open flame it has a tip like a regular iron

budgray19 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 26, 2010, 01:01:59 AM »

pics or it never happened

I wasn't calling you, or implying anything about you. I was mearly replying to the convo as quoted above. I have never seen a iron as you speak of, but then again, I have never seen lady gaga's penis, but they both probably exist.

Demonboy · « **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2010, 06:03:00 AM »

no i know tht matt lol I was saying tht about me... if u knew me in person u would agree lol

gman2233 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 30, 2010, 02:00:36 PM »

i used 60/40 and then i used a little 60/40 flux i got them both from radio shack i am not sure if they worked by psp still doesn't turn on but i did see an improvement before it didn't charge now it does but i m not sure if that involves the power fuse, well i bought a new power board, for $2.00 i though it could be the power board , so now i am just waiting for delivery. In a addition note how can i be sure i soldered my fuse right
