OT: Soldering LCDs

2003-12-01 by Adam Bradley

Hi!

After a short hiatus (house painting, travel etc) I'm back trying to 
get my LCD to work!

After soldering a couple of jumpers on a board with some pitted 
tracks,  I _have_ managed to get the LCD to work.  However, not 
reliably.  My issue now seems to be soldering the SIL header to the 
LCD and the lack of positive contact between the pins/sockets.

The LCD would appear to be at least doubled sided, with tracks on 
both sides.  Do I need to solder both sides of the LCD to the SIL?

TIA,
Adam

PS: LCD's sure are hard to de-solder!
