Greg:
Without knowing exactly what metal the contact is made of, it will be
difficult to answer your question.

Subject: [OM] OT: need advice on soldering
I know we've got a few electronics experts and camera repair professionals
and amateurs on the list, so I hope someone can help me out with a problem.
I'm trying to resolder a corroded battery contact on a Konica C35 that was
given to me, and can't get the solder to stick to the battery contact. It's
a very bright metal, stainless or chrome or something like that. I've
cleaned the surface using a wire brush on a Dremel tool, and have tried both
60/40 tin/lead solder and 96/4 tin/silver solder. I'm using a 30 watt
soldering iron and I think I'm letting the surfaces get hot enough before
trying to flow the solder.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Greg
