Use rosin core electronic solder, and try to put the solder into the joint as you are soldering.  You should be able to do this quickly, and keep the board from heating up.  It's pretty hard to destroy a board like that if you have a decent soldering station.  At least you have something to practice on now.","subreddit_name":"keyboards","author":"NortWind"},{"body":"I did this with my K550s a while back (big earpads) as the original ones were disintegrating. I don't know how it'd work on the DT 770s, but for me it completely ruined the mids and trebles on my headphones. I thought it was fine until I swapped the pads back to new OG ones and it felt like a breath of fresh air. \r\n\r\nDetachable cable mod should be easy, I did it in about 30 minutes or even less but I do have a lot of through-hole soldering experience so take that with a grain of salt. I basically just chopped off the fixed cable after taking apart the driver assembly and soldered the 3 wires onto a 3.5mm jack and shoved that into the new hole. I would buy some of those practice kits to get better with as the only way to get better at soldering is to solder more.\r\n\r\nIf you don't already have a soldering iron, then it's extremely important you get a high quality one with temperature control. A shitty soldering iron can burn your house down, and if it doesn't, you'll break more things and not save any more money than if you just bought the proper equipment and spent a little more initially.

I like The Current Source on Youtube for some basics to get started. Motherboards are mostly SMT (surface mount) rather than through hole components. SMT is more challenging to get started with than through hole. You can do some of it with a soldering iron but for most you'll want a hot air setup and/or a reflow table.\r\n\r\nI'd recommend starting with some through hole hobby kits to start getting a feel for the basics and if you haven't done a lot of electronics work before it's a good way to learn the concepts and circuit designs with larger components before moving to SMT parts.\r\n\r\nI bought this Weller iron, a former coworker who is did prototyping and rework professionally said it was his rec for DIY and hobbyist soldering. You can definitely start out spending less, though. Digital control is definitely optional, but trying to start with one of those $5-10 irons will just lead to bad results and frustration (I tried these the first couple times I tried soldering and just quit).\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JDGY1J/ref=redir\\_mobile\\_desktop?\\_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;aaxitk=affb4fdea8a0580208fffa11ab4f021e\u0026amp;hsa\\_cr\\_id=6323637260801\u0026amp;pd\\_rd\\_plhdr=t\u0026amp;pd\\_rd\\_r=c9baa1b3-0c9e-4964-839a-cdd413a8fe49\u0026amp;pd\\_rd\\_w=lw7c5\u0026amp;pd\\_rd\\_wg=fv8sN\u0026amp;ref\\_=sbx\\_be\\_s\\_sparkle\\_mcd\\_asin\\_1\\_img](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077JDGY1J/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;aaxitk=affb4fdea8a0580208fffa11ab4f021e\u0026amp;hsa_cr_id=6323637260801\u0026amp;pd_rd_plhdr=t\u0026amp;pd_rd_r=c9baa1b3-0c9e-4964-839a-cdd413a8fe49\u0026amp;pd_rd_w=lw7c5\u0026amp;pd_rd_wg=fv8sN\u0026amp;ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_1_img)\r\n\r\nThis analog setup should be perfectly adequate to get started with on a tighter budget.\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/Weller-WLC100-40-Watt-Soldering-Station/dp/B000AS28UC?ref\\_=ast\\_sto\\_dp\u0026amp;th=1\u0026amp;psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/Weller-WLC100-40-Watt-Soldering-Station/dp/B000AS28UC?ref_=ast_sto_dp\u0026amp;th=1\u0026amp;psc=1)\r\n\r\nStart with a few cheap kits to practice before you work on anything of value.\r\n\r\nThis calculator was a fun build and is actually useful for looking up resistor values.\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076SBY7DG/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_search\\_asin\\_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076SBY7DG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)\r\n\r\nThis LED ferris wheel is pretty cool, but requires some patience in seating and soldering a couple hundred LEDs.\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QFPW2PX/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_search\\_asin\\_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QFPW2PX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)","subreddit_name":"hardwareswap","author":"pretendgineer5400"},{"body":"Single quantities are [of course available](https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/murata-electronics-north-america/GRM0335C1H101JA01D/490-6113-1-ND/3845313)!\r\n\r\nI work at an engineering firm and we apply and rework SMD parts all the time including capacitors and they are products we ship to commercial and government customers.
