Finally got around to replacing the battery in my Razer Nari headset, after years of it only lasting <1 hour on battery power. Couldn’t get the soldering with my old iron after over an hour of fucking with it, got frustrated and went to home depot at 8:30 at night to get an iron that isn’t older than I am and one of those little clip holder things. Took less than 10 minutes to put the last 2 wires on with a functional tool. Got a new multimeter too. Forgot to take pictures of the completed job though, my bad.

It’s turning off during charging occasionally which i think means the first 2 connections might be fucked up, so i might go back and fix those and install the USB-C port I bought for it this weekend.

    Drown it in flux for best results. Use an aggressive flux too, the no-clean flux for surface mount devices is only good for contacts unmolested by a soldering iron.

      The bigger the blob the better the job! (jk of course, but some friends of mine always say this when talking about soldering shit)
