Re: Disassembling a remote control (and still have it working ;-)

["Clive Chapman" <clivechapman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've done this in the past.

What is solder onto the PCB tracks.
follow the track away from the carbon pad and then scratch the green solder
resist off, tin the track and then solder onto that.
