I just purchased a modbo 4.0, and start to solder it. I bought a soldering iron from frys which labelled 40watt soldering iron, a cooper wire roll, and flux liquid. I let the iron runs for 15 min before applyin on the wire and the chip, but they wouldn't melt down? they don't even stick to each other? is that because it got not enough heat?? i even apply the flux on both the iron tip and the wire but it not work? plz help me, im not soldder expert

Stop using that soldering gun. You need a 15watt soldering gun make. And even then you can't touch it to the board for more then 3 seconds.

Once you change the soldering gun, we can help further.

You can get the soldering gun for $15 at radio shack.

You want lower wattage on a ps2 mother board. Trust me, 15w max.

Get the needle point 15w soldering gun at radio shack.
