Cleaning the solder, re-insulate wires
  • The AC wires actually have a crimped pin-plug on the end. You will have to use flux and soldering wick to clean as much solder from the so they fit back nicely in the original PCB holes.

  • After the solder blobs on the pins are removed, insert two pieces of heat-shrink tubing over the wires and hear them with a lighter/match/candle/hot air gun.

  • Make sure the heat-shrink tubing won't cover the pins at the end of the wires, else you will have difficulties re-soldering them.

  • Also use soldering wick to clean the two holes in the PCB for easier reassembly.
