Hi,
I am in the process of fixing some MPCs...
My first 2000xl Blue, had a bad slider, so my friend helped me desolder the expansion slider from the board. He is now MIA, so I was thinking of doing it myself. I have solder, a soldering iron, and time.
However, when I was looking at the board, I noticed that some of the solder contact points are very close to each other.
I am wondering how precise I must be in regards to the solder touching, as I look at the board it seems having solder points that are next to each other, would necessarily touch.
Can an expert please fill me in?
I have a 2500 that has certainly bad solder on the board, the volume pot can wobble, and the sound is really low... I was trying to resolder it, but once again the points are very close and I would not want to destroy it!
I have a book like thing on soldering, but many of my issues are not included.
Can someone help point me in the right direction?
