Does anyone know where I might get a small bit of soldering done in West London. It's a bit too fiddly for my skills and equipment.

Thanks.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

It's moveable/postable. It's basically 5 wires that need soldering to a main board. I've had 2 attempts (6 years apart) and pulled up some contact pads. There are alternate solder points which I've tried but I'm not convinced the connections are working. It really needs an expert to take a look at it, clean up the existing solder and resolder with proper tools. I reckon it's a max 30 min job for anyone who knows what they are doing (there's a video on Youtube of it being done in under a minute). Sorry for being so vague - I have checked the T&Cs and can't see anything to stop me posting the exact nature of it but it's probably best not to although it probably ranks lower than card sharing discussion.

JTAG connections? Can be posted. We'll give the YouTube vid a once over to check it out if kosher.

I have a small installation sometime tomorrow in Gunnersbury Lane. If you are around mid-afternoon then pm me so I can work out the detour.
