Step 6Solder one end of the resistor to Pin 19

Steady yourself, here is where it gets fun! Move the tip of the resistor to pin 19 and get everything lined up just right. Once it is soldered it is very hard to bend or move anything without breaking the solder and if you are unlucky tearing off the contact point. Put the tip of your soldering tool ont eh resistor wire, wellaway from the actual soldering point and let the wire heat up. Be patient, when the solder on your tinned tip melts the resistor should shift a little. Take the heat off and let it cool for a few seconds before gingerly testign teh solder with a wiggle. If it worked the resistor should not move. If it didn't work try again and hold the heat on for a little longer.
