    I had no idea enameled copper wire could be soldered just like that. I used to scrape the laquer off with a knife or something. There's always something new to learn with NorthridgeFix - thanks!

    Two questions for you, if you allow me:
    - is the wire 0.9mm?
    - why not connect to the tracks rather than to the chip itself
