Step 3Soldering Part 1
Flip the board over and heat up your soldering iron. Solder the four legs of the resistors into place, and clip the excess legs off.
Solder one of the corner pins of the FPC connector. Pick up the board and take a peek at the FPC connector from the side. We want the connector to be as flat against the board as possible before soldering the rest of the pins in place. Use one hand to hold the soldering iron to the pin you just soldered while using the other hand to hold the board and lightly squeeze down on the connector. When the soldering is melting, you should be able to rest the FPC connector perfectly flat. Remove the iron and let the solder cool to hold the piece in place.
Flip the board back over and solder the rest of the 19 pins in place.
