[title] Solder the first resistor
-[* icon_note] In this step, you're going to heat the solder pad and the resistor's conductive edge so that they'll readily melt the solder wire.
-[* black] Press the tip against the circuit board's solder pad and the resistor's (shiny) end cap for a few seconds to heat them both. Angle the tip so it has maximum contact with the pad and cap.
- [* icon_caution] If you heat the circuit board continuously for more than 10 seconds, the excessive heat may damage the solder pad or resistor.
-[* black] Feed the solder wire into the heated area until there's a concave pool ("[link|https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/2Oc3NckhSmri23jf.full|mini volcano|new_window=true]") of solder surrounding the end cap.
- [* icon_note] Don't feed the solder directly onto the tip as it won't flow properly onto the pad and cap, causing a weak connection.
- [* icon_note] The volcano should form within a few seconds. If the solder doesn't adhere to the pad, apply flux to the pad or increase the temperature.
+[* icon_note] In this step, you're going to heat the solder pad and the solder wire.
+[* black] Press the iron's tip against the circuit board's solder pad for a few seconds to heat it
+ [* icon_caution] If you heat the circuit board continuously for more than 10 seconds, the excessive heat may damage the solder pad.
+[* black] Feed the solder wire into the heated area until there's a concave pool of solder on the pad.
+ [* icon_note] Don't feed the solder onto only the tip as it won't flow properly onto the pad, causing a weak connection.
+ [* icon_note] The solder should melt onto the pad within a few seconds. If the solder doesn't adhere to the pad, apply flux to the pad or increase the temperature.
[* black] Remove the solder wire first, then remove the soldering iron from the pad.
-[* black] Repeat this process for the resistor's second end cap.
