4B: GAAAH! Misaligned! 4C: See? Align edge-to-edge!
4D: Remelt the solder to join the
sides. Note how the battery connector is facing backwards.
Battery clips
face rearward!
Remelt solder
to join front
pads first
Step 5 - Do it again for the other side:
No pictures here - just repeat the process for the other side board. You are sure that the
battery board is in correctly, right? Just to remind you (for the 3rd time...), the connectors
face rearward (or you won’t be able to install the battery)!
Step 6 - Finish Soldering the remaining connections:
All these half-circle pads are not just for looks and support - they actually carry signals too.
There are 12 more points to solder for a total of 16 solder points. You’ve done four so far
(front and rear on two PCB). Don’t be scared to use a generous amount of solder doing this.
These two pads need
LOTS of solder as they
bridge to the battery board
as well as the side and top
