Carefully pulling off the ports for the plugs on the mobo will give you good pads to use.

Do you mean by pulling off the plastic piece that the plug goes into I will have more room to solder to the metal prongs? Will using the wires that were connected to the male side of the plugs not work?

[tsukasa]

If you don't have solder, you need to get some bro. Rosin core would be best, as it has the flux already in it.

That's why your solder won't stick, you're trying to reuse old solder that has no flux.

My bad, I meant flux hahaha I have plenty of solder, its rosin core. But would I be able to use the wires running off the plugs on the bottom of the of the screen?

Yes, those will work fine.

Thanks, I have successfully wired everything together with enough slack to mount it in the case properly
This should be done by... the 20th, or some time around then. i just hope i dont run into any problems

Just waiting on the case now, and i have one last bit to finish up.

I'm a little curious about how I'm gonna go about charging this thing, what kind of port do i use to charge this, the batteries are 7.4 volts and 4200Mah. I know how to connect it, just not what I'm looking for or how to charge while playing.

I should have this done as soon as i receive the case It shouldn't take too long to install into the case. i cant wait to show you guys this thing completely finished

There seem to be this one

this should work with these

Remember to take special precautions when charging.
especially on a universal charger.

I already have a battery, its got a protection circuit on it. i just want to know what kind of input jack i need to charge it. as well as how to charge while playing. I dont need a universal charger or a new battery

[gamax92]

Sorry but what is your charger and what does it look like.

[AdumUp]

I have the Smart Charger that is linked at the top of the page...

these are the parts I'm curious about... do i need a certain kind? or will any work?

[gamax92]

This plug seems right
http://www.valley-ent.com/catalog/21mm- ... p-655.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It has the terminals marked on them.

EDIT: The one you picked isn't a 5.5mm x 2.1mm female Barrel its a 5.5 x 2.5 mm

EDIT: Somebody correct me if his plug would work.

[AdumUp]

thank you, as soon as this is confirmed ill order the part

[gamax92]

It seem that you cannot use a 5.5, 2.5 mm plug as show by the bottom of this page with the picture of plugs
http://www.powerstream.com/li-chargers-1-cell.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
it shows that need a adapter to get a 5.5, 2.1 mm to 5.5, 2.5 mm
You should most likely use the plug i suggested to you.

[bassmasta]

Type M jack.
