Yeah I was going to solder it first and than heat it back up an solder the cord in
No, so I need to use it
put the other connector together, see if they still fit. if they do, youāre in luck. the nylon housing is just a bit burnt. be careful when your soldering though.
What should I do about the solder that is steady in that port
melt it?
your supposed to tin those beforehand, like you were doing. just leave your soldering iron on it for a good long time until it becomes totally liquid. stick the wire in, heat the wire until the solder on the wire and in the pin turn liquid, remove soldering iron.
I found for me itās easier to have something like a vise hold the connector then put a clean wire in the back of the clean plug heat them up together and then add the solder flux does help but I always use rosin core solder.
