Any good solderers out there ?

Graeme from Frankton

Hi , I have several Mercedes , and one of them has 'lost' the LCD data panel in the middle of the speedo . I have purchased another LCD panel from Germany , it has 16 or 18 connectors across the bottom of the ribbon ( maybe 40mm across in total ) that need soldering . I've taken the … View moreHi , I have several Mercedes , and one of them has 'lost' the LCD data panel in the middle of the speedo . I have purchased another LCD panel from Germany , it has 16 or 18 connectors across the bottom of the ribbon ( maybe 40mm across in total ) that need soldering . I've taken the speedo out ( I bought the 'correct' hooks ) and even have a basic soldering iron ( around $20 at Jaycar from memory -- so not temperature adjustable or anything ) but I don't want to wreck the speedo .
I understand Gallaghers do fine soldering , but presumably only their own components , and TV's and the like seem throw-away these days -- is there anyone with the skills who is keen to try -- a business or someone at home . I doubt it would take too long , and happy to pay , so if anyones keen , give me a holler -- message me or text or call 0274 939 000 . Thanks

Hamiltonian of 23 years, a community midwife who has delivered over 1000 babies, was motivated to embark on this journey to ‘give back to the community’ when Community Midwifery is struggling to gain adequate support from Government resources. In my previous Tron-life I enjoyed extensive travelling, hiking, & participating in international expeditions such as the British ‘Operation Raleigh’, and ‘The Great Jukung Race’(2500km seafearing adventure in a primitive boat). This expedition was an opportunity to mix adventure with a purpose within an international community of Pilgrims.

Thuggery in school sport

The opposing team used disgusting tactics of shoulder barging, fist fighting and head butting. The game was stopped seconds from the end of the third quarter, a meeting on the court of all players and coaches and one of the offenders sent to the side-line…………………..but he was on the court again in the final quarter. The Ref refused to be part of the game in the fourth quarter due to being sworn at , lack of respect and questioning by the opposing team as to decisions made and the general unsportsmanlike behaviour. One of the side line spectators refereed the last quarter. The boys in the opposing team were big solid guys who used this advantage in an extremely questionable way. What does this unchallenged despicable behaviour display to younger ones coming on? Its acceptable to be a bully and a thug with no consequences? Why is this behaviour allowed/tolerated and not stamped out, by the coach? The offences were red cardable and very disturbing to watch. In my opinion the team should be stood down for a couple of games and the coach held accountable.
