I've taught myself as I worked in car audio electronics in my own business. Things come up and soldering became an important part of my life. As time went on things got smaller and smaller and the work my needed magnification just to see it. So I got reading glasses in various strengths most powerful being 3.25. Next is an electronic microscope. This video is a great starting point for soldering to a circuit board. You're A good teacher.
THANK YOU! for your time in making this video. I have a Kenmore vacuum, that needed a wand release tab replaced. Which I got done. But not knowing what I am doing to re-assemble, one wire to the circuit board came off. That control the carpet part to work. I have had a solder iron for years, due to model trains, but never got the concept on how to solder, as you explain it very well in short time. So I did get the wire back on, but then another wire came off, in the process of re-assemble. Got that back on too! Vacuum works get. The release tab will break in time, again, as I got 2 tabs, so the vacuum lives. MM.
My dad unknowingly bought a mini tesla coil kit, handed it to me and said have at it. Ive always been overwhelmed when looking at circuitboards but I love learning how things work. Almost 30 years old and building that thing and seeing it work with zero instructions was so much fun I wish I had more to build, now that I have an understanding on circuitboards im hooked on learning 😂 saudering is super satisfying.
Thank you so much for the clear, concise, & highly educational content. This is a skill I've wanted to learn & have never found the time to do so; I seriously appreciate the efforts of every person who had a part in making this video. Now to go fix my photography lightbox (:
THANK YOU! I've been doing mechanics and computer repair for over two years and have always said no one when asked if I could solder. Today I decided to buy a soldering iron and try my luck on some of my own devices to be refurbished. You make an easy, straight to the point video and I now feel comfortable with my first solder repair!
Thank you! This video was so helpful. I needed to install a try me button onto a circuit board on a Halloween animatronic. After watching this video, I was able to solder the wires on with no problem.
The solder doesn’t melt on the board. Instead it sticks to the wire. If I leave it on the board and put pressure; the metal part of the board would come off. Any advice?
Use flux paste. You can think of it as a river. The flux paste is your riverbank it controls where the water is going to go aka the solder. Solder is attracted to heat. It will follow the heat wherever it goes so if you heat up the metal on the board the solder will follow and attract itself to that place of heat on that board thus sticking to it. If you heat the wire up it's going to stick to the wire you have to heat the board then the wire then the solder. Just remember solder always goes to where the heat is. Just think of it as your daughter's a gold digging woman and your heat gun is the richest man on earth.
Also I said that kind of wrong because more or less your flux is like a lubricant It just makes everything flow but a lot easier. Solder takes the path of least resistance when you add flux to it It basically heats up the flux and replaces The flux with itself. Oh here's a good example you and your old lady are the copper and the flux. Once you to get heated up suddenly you're a kid burst into the room which is your solder and because you two are all hot and whatnot of course naturally your kids going to follow you around. That's actually a pretty good one.
Can someone pleasse help me. Can you solder a wire onto old solder on a mother board?? Or do i have to clean out the old solder before i can solder back the wire
Did you find your answer? I found a video on “how to remove old solder”. I’m not sure if you have to remove the old. Videos make it look so easy and clean, but my soldering jobs look like a clump of crap lol Wish I knew more to give you the answer you’re looking for.
maybe the tin wire she's using got a flux filled core...... I guess. i heard about those. but please, I am just a beginner and have watched some videos about soldering. in case you have classic tin wire, where, when and how do you apply the flux paste? please it would be of great help if you told me this. thanks in advance
@@ethanmontoya300 I think it's some sort of glue type paste for added protection. I found this on my vape mod after I opened it up because I needed to resolder a wire I eventually was able to peel it off so definitely not solder. It had a rubber type of consistency.
hey can I ask you about the flux please? I'm just a beginner and I am learning. in this case, where and when would you apply the flux? like on the board? on the wire? both? after or before you add the tin? thank you in advance for your reply
Oh, so we say solder when we should be saying solder. That's got to be frustrating. Bear in mind I'll still say solder, but you can always just HEAR solder in your mind instead.
No weird music just a smooth and calm voice and clear video. If only all RUclips videos were this good.
Nor is it 8 minutes long

Well done, minimum words and highly effective. You make grown men look like high school teenagers.
Speak for yourself dude, gross.
This should be the template for all RUclips “how to” videos. Well done.
Thank you for getting straight to the point. No minute long intro with obnoxious music or like and subscribe bullshit

Must one buy soldering wire I assume? Can I buy it at Ace Hardware?
@@Jmster69did you really ask someone how to solder a wire on a video tutorial on how to solder a wire?
@@DemocT oh ur right I did I feel stupid rn
That’s best RUclips video I have ever watched on here. No fluff just great clear precise how to video 🎉🎉
Thank you! This video was so helpful. I needed to install a try me button onto a circuit board on a Halloween animatronic. After watching this video, I was able to solder the wires on with no problem.
Ahhh! hehe, you need to touch the iron to the pad and wire first, then apply solder! :)
Thanks...I came to know how to solder.. as I was a beginner.
Finally I can start modding my gameboys. I usto have to take it to some guy to do it everytime but he isn't good at it.
Funny that’s why I’m here lol
I’m here for the same thing 😂
Lol, your not alone! I'm here for the same thing as well.
@@1kjigfmevj2jn2n lol update us on how it goes
Lol me too but im about to buy soldering iron and solder wire to this
THANKS I never thought of adding solder to both sides first. I only did one side and it was impossible. Whereas your method was easy!
I from Russia. This very good.
Why does it look so easy on these videos?
It is
I thought you’re supposed to heat the point on the pcb first and then add solder to the point.
exactly
Why your lead melts so fast, mine takes a long time it wont even liquify like yours....
Great job. Thanks for the vedio...
Short and sweet, thank you

I've a piano toy when i opened it i saw the circuit board broken is there a chance to fix it ?
wow that board has seen better days.
Your sounds is very good
Thanks a lot! Great instructional video
What temp should the thing be set at?
What’s that metal bit that you use?
No prep of coated surface ?
Bout to bring all 5 of my dead anki overdrives back to life baby, aint kno soldering was this simple
bless you this was so helpful !
Going to try this to my broken headphones
Awesome Video
Great video, thanks.
Thanks, now I'm gonna try to solder my signal light in my motorcycle.
Clear and concise …. just can't figure out why I can't successfully solder. FACK!!
Fixed my PS4 controller with this
Yeah im gonna try this too for my ps4 controller(the vibration thingy wires broke off)
@@RA2006. did u fix it ? Mine came off as well only one wire
Wrong, you have to touch the pad with the solder first, when he is hot apply the solder.
Do you need solder with flux?
Always
@@TriconPOE I’m new to soldering what does flux do? And is it necessary?
@@rushyy8765 Not a sin not to use one.. I haven‘t got into trouble for not using it, but it ensures clean contact joints.
You don’t need to except if you micro solder.
@@TriconPOE please, guys, will you tell me in this case where and how and when one would apply the flux? I'm just a beginner and I am learning
thank you for this video
no mention of flux or of iso......
Well done thanks.

Yea you can. Just make sure you heat the old solder and new solder well so that they merge together as one.
My only problem with this video is they made it looked so easy to get that melted solder onto the wire 😭.
Thank you.
Thanks
Thank you
Thank you 😊
Not me using this video to attempt to fix a broken cart
You dont use flux?
maybe the tin wire she's using got a flux filled core...... I guess. i heard about those.
but please, I am just a beginner and have watched some videos about soldering. in case you have classic tin wire, where, when and how do you apply the flux paste? please it would be of great help if you told me this. thanks in advance
Thank youu
Please can you do more videos
Nice
good job u
We're SO"advanced"today,YET!It's STILL very STINKY to solder projects!
Thank you my dumbahh be tryna stagetically hold all three together and drop a bead of solder on it ongg bruh I shouldve thought that I'm slow asf
What is that black paste looking stuff???
I’m pretty sure that’s flux
@@ethanmontoya300 I think it's some sort of glue type paste for added protection. I found this on my vape mod after I opened it up because I needed to resolder a wire I eventually was able to peel it off so definitely not solder. It had a rubber type of consistency.
@@ethanmontoya300 I think that's some resin that they put there to secure the chip so that you can't remove/replace it
You forgot the flux....
hey can I ask you about the flux please? I'm just a beginner and I am learning. in this case, where and when would you apply the flux? like on the board? on the wire? both? after or before you add the tin?
thank you in advance for your reply
Don’t u just hate how the yanks say ‘sodder’ The word is SOLDER!
Oh, so we say solder when we should be saying solder. That's got to be frustrating. Bear in mind I'll still say solder, but you can always just HEAR solder in your mind instead.
