Hey all,
I was soldering a diode to my dorcy jr. yesterday, and the dorcy solder that was already on there wouldn't melt. So i had to keep it on for 10 seconds while the diode pin was on there. Do you think it is possible that the heat from the soldering iron could kill the diode by transfering through the pin? BTW, i don't want to turn it on yet because i added some water-based silicone and need to wait till it dries.
