Problem: Bad Solder Joints

Most bad solder joints can be fixed easily by applying more heat to reflow the joint. Clean and tin your soldering iron, then touch the joint and watch the solder flow over the pad and the component, about 1-3 seconds, then let it cool.

If necessary, you may need to add additional solder when heating.
