IMG_0422.JPG XERC 2 SE: soldering begins

I labeled the GND, PWR, and PO solder points for my v1.4 Xbox motherboard with a Sharpie.

I set my solder gun to 700 degrees F.

I pre-tinned the XERC 2 SE's solder pads. Just add solder to the pads before soldering on the wires. The wires themselves do not need to be pre-tinned because they are so thin.
