Key broken

[Snails]

My key stopped working this morning, took it apart and found the issue.

Does this look like it can be resoldered? I have no experience at soldering. 5p is for scale.

Yes but use a low power soldering iron with small tip, something like 12-18watts , maplin sell them

All fixed after finding a soldering iron. Took about 1 min to fix! Now I'm going to have a stab at fixing the heater resistor pack with my new found soldering 'skills'.

Think I've got some of the resistors for the heater if you fancy giving it a stab
Had to but 10 when I did mine on the 182.
Thing is I put them somewhere safe!!!!! May need a day or 2 to find them LOL

Thanks, only just saw your post, just ordered the resistor from Ebay. Thank you for the offer though. I'll let you know how it goes.
