Seeking someone to do some PCB soldering for me!

BlueJuice
BlueJuice 1 month ago

Hi all,

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this. 

I've got a small project on the go thats going to require a bit of soldering, initially it was going to be just removing some existing antennas from  two wifi adaptors and soldering on a 10cm length of coax with SMA connectors on the end (to allow me to mount wifi adaptors within an enclosure with external antennas.

Basically removing the white wires seen above and replacing with coax.

However I'm now thinking id like to remove the USB A from these adaptors, solder the usb cable straight onto the board to keep thinks much smaller, and then solder the other end of the USB cables onto a small powered USB hub  (again with the USB A connectors removed to keep things small).

Plan was to get all the kit and do the soldering myself but to be honest theres a good chance i'll have a disaster and im not too sure how much soldering im likely to do in the future, so maybe best that I get someone who knows what they are doing on the case!

If there's anyone on here that can do this kind of stuff, I'd love to have a chat, willing to pay for the service.

    Hola, 
    This is fun! I think sending it to someone might be a bit of a long way around,  If you have a more advanced Phone Repair Shop, or a Console fixing shop close to you (Maybe they do Mod Chips) They could  quote you for it. 

    Alternatively find your local Repair club.
    https://communityrepairnetwork.org.uk/find/ 

    Or your nearest Hackspace, asking someone on the public open evenings. 
    https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/United_Kingdom 

    Good luck!

    A good place to find your local hackerspace is more so: https://www.hackspace.org.uk/ 

    The hackerspaces wiki can be a bit more out of date.
