Step 2Get tools ready
The pads that make the screen move are the ones you need to solder to.
What is needed
# Soldering Iron
Nothing fancy just need something to melt solder and tin wires. I had used one from an old $15 electrical kit that had strippers, cheap multi and connectors.
# solder
# wire
Came free with the box. A Lot of wire in the litter box for all of the controls. I used a two yellow wires and two white wires. These are the longest wires you will find.
# Two Switches
Small push button momentary ones. I used Radioshack's #275-1556 $2.99 for a two pack. Also they are one of their smallest switches mounting in a 1/4 inch hole.
# Heat Shrink or Electrical Tape
Keeps it clean and prevents shorting. I had a 8 inch peice of heat shrink so I used that.
# Dremel, Dremel like tool or a sharp knife.
Removing plastic.
# Helping hands or third hand.
Helpful but board is big enough that it did not move to much.
If you don't have any of these then it will cost you more than $5.
