It's not gold, it's copper.. hahahahaha

either follow the trace on the pcb, and bridge the two at the nearest solderpoint with regular copper wire,

OR, you can take a knife, lightly scratch the black lacquer off the pcb next to where you burned off the copper trace. Then take a little piece of wire and solder the pin to that exposed trace, you can solder to anything that is shiny gold colored..


Do you have a solder sucker ?


Make sure to read my D2F-01F soldering guide in my WMO ultimate link in my Signature below.

Big thanks for reply, i mean its gold color)) but its very thick so they just felt out of holes. I have solder sucker. So you mean ill need to scratch the black layer and solder copper wire and connect it with switch pin? If so ill try.
P.S. I can solder it to any trace?

I don't like the deathadder's lack of buttons.
