johngooch Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Doing a field repair. Clock it slate with the battery connector plate and a bad solider joint on the lead soldered to it . Almost impossible to solder.. I love these slates but this has to be their weakest point. Anybody here have any tips on this specific repair? I know my description is not detailed but if you own clockit slate you will understand what I am trying to accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 you will need some steel wool/abrasive pad to buff the copper plate to take off the oxidation. you will also need at least a 60W soldering iron. 30/40W irons may not do the job well enough... -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngooch Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 thanks Vin. job done. I got thru it with a 30 watt soldering iron. It was tough. Plastic parts holding in metal parts a little scary. Not my cleanest repair but it works. I have had good luck with ambient slates but this is their weakest point. Hoping this method of securing batteries is not the same on their newer slate. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
