Soldering

Post by kappage »

In my touchscreen i have a very very bad connection and i cant solder anything to the metal i need to, it is a power connection i got one to hold but the second one wont. Im pretty sure its chromium or something and i cant get it to holw. How can i get this wire to hold to this little thingy?

Any suggestions?

I tried to use tape so electrical tape is out of the question.

You're using flux right? Makes solder "stickier." You could also try a wire wrap and solder that.
