The last couple of days I have been trying to put my cellphone together. Using soldering paste with lead requires good ventilation. The fumes are poisonous and you shouldn’t breathe them. That’s why I had a big fan by my side. Your friends are; soldering paste, flux for the hard ones, a soldering iron, a tweezer and patience.
I discovered that I didn’t receive the correct LiPo charger and I haven’t been able to power the phone in order to program and use it. I have contacted the supplier (Electrokit) and I am sure the they will find and ship the correct one. Still I have to wait over the weekend before I can use my phone, which is not fun =(
Here are some pictures from the soldering procedure:
- Added some resistors
