I’m trying to solder on the flex cable for a PicoFly. I’ve added some solder to the bottom two points that are touching the metal surrounding the CPU. However, I seem to only be making a bigger and bigger ball of solder when trying to melt it. I’ve upped the temperature on my iron but that doesn’t seem to be doing anything. What am I doing wrong?
The metal shield maybe? There’s probably a word for it but I mean the bit the white arrow is pointing. The board in this picture isn’t the same board, but I’m not able to grab a picture of the board in question at the moment. I am using flux, I just hadn’t mentioned it.
