This is common just because everything is packed so tight. At least you know where the wire goes. Clean the terminal, strip the wire and resolider it. Don't forget to use some flux (solider paste, it will help the wire/solider stick better.It will take a few minutes to do. If it is still under warranty you can send it back and get it fixed for free i think. depending where you live you might have to go with out it for a week or so. If you have never solidered before i suggest on practicing with some spare wire.

If you don't know how to SOLDER, find some local electronics store that does repairs. That looks like a pretty easy repair. Just make sure to use a rosin, and not an acid core solder.

Soldering is easy when you have some basic instructions to go on.
First you need to clean the old solder and bit of wire out of the switch. Anchor the switch in something like a vise, anything to save you a hand. Heat up the terminal with a soldering iron until the solder becomes liquid, then use some needle nose pliars or something to grab ahold of the wire stub and pull it free. You should end up with a fairly clean terminal on the switch. Dont go gonzo with the heat, if you cant get it in a few seconds let the terminal cool down a bit before having another go, or you could melt the plastic the switch is made out of. Once you get it clean, strip down the end of the wire with a knife or something (just cut the insulation off and twist the indivudual wires together), wrap it around the terminal good. Now hold the soldering iron in one hand and a piece of solder in the other. Heat the terminal and wire with the iron, and touch the solder to it, its sortof like painting, you want a thin coat of solder on the connection, not a big glob. If you get too much on, heat it and smack it against a table or something and the excess will come off. Then just wrap it with a bit of electrical tape and its good as new. |

Same exact thing happened to me. Just like enos said, but your not going to get black tape around that small space. Go to lowes and get shrink tubing and put it around the wire then re solder and slide the tubing up in place and heat it. As for the right solder just go to radio shak and ask for some for electronics. Wal mart sells it too in the automotive section. Edited by 98cowboy |
