Be careful, soldering takes finesse that comes from training and experience
(1 hour), and proper equipment. A novice will damage your JB. I was
trained for a few minutes by one of the circuit-board repair ladies before I
became a field engineer. It changed me from an amateur (much better than
novice) to competent.
Good luck.

Thanks Linus.

Any more details on exactly which pieces I need to take apart? Again, I'm a
bit clueless when it comes to electronics :-)

Cheers
