The type of soldering iron is very important.
We're talking about surrounding electronics here and the silicone in these things can be cooked real quick
without the right tools.
DO NOT use one of those 140 watt Weller guns!
Get an electronics soldering iron that puts out about 25 to 40 watts max. and use the thin coils of 50/50 solder
and a small amount of flux paste (all available at Radio Shack) DO NOT use ACID CORE solder either.
The pencil type soldering iron may also be OK if it isn't too hot.
