Step 5Solder the wire on the PCB
Okay, now here's the hard part. You need to solder that end of your wire to the test point you found earlier. The best way of doing so with a normal iron is this:
put a little bit of solder on the iron.
"poke" the test point so that some solder remains on it.
hold your wire end against the test point.
poke them again with the iron so that the solder melts together. Keep it there for about half a second.
This is critical and it's also the only time where you can break something, so be sure to have plenty of light and be calm :) I recommend holding the soldering iron vertical. Use the thinnest tip you got.
