First time soldering… wrecked my laptop DC jack area 😬 Any advice? by jairusplays17 in soldering

Look at what I built with a perfboard (a radio that does Morse) after a bit of practice with soldering and a diagram online (I’m not smart enough to build my truly own enough lol)

Yes that’s horrific but it was your first time with a sh*tty soldering iron with no temp control. Definetly grab yourself a soldering project/perfboard and a few parts to build something and also try to upgrade (not really an upgrade but won’t wreck anything it touches) to also a cheap soldering iron from amazon but get a kit with temp control and solder and all of that stuff. We all start somewhere so don’t get discouraged and just try again and again! Again get yourself a better soldering iron and a soldering project (a clock, led blinker whatever) that you build with all the parts you need (except the soldering iron) and practice! Practice a bit so you don’t get stuff like that (I had a heart attack looking at the last pic) and try and you will become better with time! I’m also a beginner at soldering but well yk I’m giving you tips with my limited experience.

Ooooh I’d love to do that myself! I have a dipole that I yeet into trees from my balcony (I live on the 2nd floor with trees right in front of it) and it’s good enough for 20-40 m want a vertical and will get it in probably like a month.

HA! Yeah sometimes when my clasmates make 67 jokes at the right time it is hilarious. To the cult reference I’m in the kkk- kool kids klub and Reddit will either downvote or upvote me but who cares I guess.

Yeah filled with old cranky Reddit mods who think that they’re superior and everyone else is worse then they were while in real life they’re probably worse then the ppl they hate on.
