Remove all the pins except 2,3,4,11 and 15. Refer to the page connector and pins for more details.
Bend pin 2,3 and 4 slightly to spread them out.
Insert heatshrinks into the wire.
Use blue tack to hold the wires and the dock in place for soldering.
Slide the heatshrinks over the soldered contact to prevent accidental shorting.
Repeat the process for the other 2 wires.
Done!
Bend pin 11 and 15 slightly closer so that they can be soldered together.
Done!
*After taking all the photos above, i realised that i got too engrossed with the photos that i didnt braid it properly. The lose wires in the LOD are too long, they can be braided one more round. Hence after this photo i desoldered everything and redo.
Lay out the dock into the casing, and you are done!
Caution: The casing and dock connecter are designed to fit together perfectly. The casing is not designed to be uni-directional. It has a TOP and BOTTOM. As for how to differentiate i will leave it to the reader to find out. Just take note that if it does not fit together perfectly, DUN FORCE.
The final product before its finishing touches. The real thing is below.
