Hi,
I have had countless attempts (about 20) at installing new LEDs in the Power/Eject PCB.

I always come across problems when it comes to soldering the new ones on. It seems very difficult to get the solder to go down and form a connection.
I know it seems like a simple thing to do and maybe it is to others but I am finding it to be a real pain in the ass. I can solder more or less anything else I need to such as pinheaders D0 leds in controller ports etc just cant do the eject pcb.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Many thanks

What wattage soldering iron are you using?

All i can recomend is the standard soldering tips. Clean the area before soldering, heat up both objects you're trying to solder. Solder flows towards heat, make sure you're properly heating the board.
