I was following instructions to remove the battery from my Flip Mino Hd. I hadnt used in it years and tried all else to turn on an retrive video. Noticed two wires unsoldered from motherboard during the process, one red, one black. The other two remained in tact. Can I solder them back on and if so, how?
@fixerchick those are most likely the power leads from the mic. Post some images of your board so we can see which wires are off. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that. It will allow us to see what you see. Of course, you can also take a look at this image
from here Flip MinoHD Battery Replacement to see if that shows the wires you are referring to. Yes, those can simply be soldered back to the board. Check videos like this one or this one or this guide How To Solder and Desolder Connections to get a feel for what you need to do.
