Hey thanks. I may need to solder something in the near future, and it's always felt a bit daunting to start/learn for some reason. This comment was super helpful.

I bought a cheap learn to solder kit and did that project before fixing an old Dell motherboard. It came with a soldering iron but agree with the poster above that a better soldering iron makes a big difference.

Glad I could help! It's a skill to learn like anything else, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy 👍👍
