ChipMusic.org / Forums / Tutorials, Mods & How-To's / Solder alternative -- wire glue? (for GB pro sound mod)
Hi there,
I've only used solder a few times and I'm wondering if conductive glue is a simple alternative for my first internal game boy pro sound mod. Any advice/experience with wire glue? Just looking to do things the easy way, to start with.
(sorry just realised - wrong forum? 
)
Cheers,
LW.

Soldering is the easy way. Don't try anything else, the mod can be done with no prior soldering experience. Just watch a few youtube videos on how to solder.
I'll have a look into that, thanks for the advice. I have a spare GB also, so I can practice on that.
Cheers,
LW.
I have been curious about conductive glue. Not giving up soldering anytime soon, but it does seem like an interesting topic. Anyone have experience experimenting with it?
Don't even practice on a gameboy. Get some broken electronics to try it out on, and check your work with a conductivity tester. Tug on your solder joints to see how strong they are.
