Title: Replacing DIP switch
Post by: fatchoi on Sat, 04 January 2014, 00:00:01

When I tried to replace the MX switches on my poker pcb by soldering, I accidentally melt the DIP switch... :(
Now I've got some brand new DIP on hand, could anyone teach me how to replace the melted one please?

Thanks!

Well you just need to desolder the melted one and solder on the new one I would think.

If you need tips on soldering we have a whole thread about it!

Thank you. I manage to replace my dip switch with some efforts.  :D It's really much more difficult than replacing the switches.
Unfortunately, the dip switch #2 and 3 is not working, though I never use them anyway.
