I clearly lack years of soldering to achieve this cleanly. I also miss good eyes: it's too small for my eyes...
It was hard not to create a short-circuit, looks like the board right under the + pin is connected to 0V so if the solder drop is a tad too long it easily touch the board creating a short circuit. Added a patch of tape between +5V and the board to ensure they don't touch even after pressing the battery hard against it.
It works!
Hi mdk!
YES, unfortunately, I have recently suffered the same thing, one of the connectors broke off!
Could you maybe please provide any pictures of what the result looks like? Maybe as well as explaining in some detail how you've managed to pull this off?
Thank you!
