I'm going to radio shack tomorrow. to see if they have the right resistors (i doubt they do, where can i get 0603 (i think that's it) size resistors. Also, will just a basic soddier gun work for this trick, I'm thinking it may be too thick.

yeah, radio shack doesn't have much in the way of "advanced" electronics..

altho wierdly enough i had a dream last night that they had the perfect size front light for gp32, not joking :blink:

digikey should have em, or mouser

google if you don't know..
 
rs components is your best bet, they sell everything, i think u can order online or if you live anywhere near corby (near peterborough/kettering) they have a big shop on the side of their factory. just an idea. i repair telecoms systems as part of my job so we need weird parts quite often and theyve never let us down. give me a shout if you live near and need directions
 
If you're thinking 'solder gun' then yes, it'll be too thick. You need a 15watt soldering iron with a fine tip, or you could risk damaging your gp32. They're as cheap as hell though, so it's not worth trying to economise by skipping this.

they aint exactly cheap as far as this stuff goes, but i'd wager they have them. They always seem to have the stuff you need when nobody else does, so i guess that's why they cost a little bit more.

A low wattage iron is best, 15w was a good suggestion. i use a 4w for rework, but it is prolly a little to low and risks damaging parts because it can take a little longer to make the solder take on some of the bigger pads.

a steady hand is also a good idea, so no coffee / cigarettes for the day until your've done the mod. maybe thats just me....

If you plan to do this more than once a pair of those magnifier glasses and a good set of those little tweezer type tools are also a worthwhile buy.
 
I live in Michigan. soo most of those places probably don't help me. but ty. I'm tryin my old electronic teacher from last year. Thx guys.
