So you might have seen me post in the Poker picture thread a little while back where I did an LED mod on my Poker II. If you didn't catch it the first time, I really jacked up the left control LED pads and got junk stuck in there (my first soldering experience). So for a while I've just had an incomplete LED design. Well I just got a new soldering station with a very small, precise tip (<3 jdcarpe) and decided to try and redeem myself.
As you can see, I destroyed it before.
And I just had no LED on that switch.
I had to actually use a crap ton of solder to make a solder-bridge across the two pads so I could heat both at the same time and I pushed the LED through a little at a time while heating it. Eventually, success!
What's even more awesome, is that I didn't have to jump it to the left-shift LED pads like I did the switch adjacent to it. Turns out the Poker 2 pads are through-hole, so the connection was still made on the flip side of the PCB. No jumping needed!
Redemption!
