hey guys. As you might know I am a noob and have just picked these up at my RadioShack:

Soldering Iron: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062728

Holder: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index....rentPage=search

Solder:

I am worried that I didn't get the right stuff. Is there anything that I have missed? What else? Thanks.

What mod chip are you putting in? If it is a wiikey, then you can do the quick solder method, but if you are doing any d2c mod, then you are going to need some wire (I have heard 30 gauge is the best). Also, that solder looks a little thick, but as long as you are careful then you shouldn't have any problems.

By the way, if this is your first time soldering I would definitely practice on some other stuff first. You don't want to go strait to the wii or there will most likely be a lot of errors.

See my post in the other thread.

If you are thinking of modding your Wii as your first soldering project, IMHO you're crazy, escpecially if you have a cut pins Wii.

I have too much invested in my Wii to risk voiding the warranty and creating a brick.

I decided that it wasn't work my time to play with and paid someone else to do it.

Well worth the money I paid, and I have 25+ years experience in electronics repair so it wasn't like I couldn't have done it myself.

If I brick it I can exchange it for a new one at my store. I am NOT worried about it bricking. What I AM worried about is if the mod chip breaks...
