I finally got the A608, but it needs soldering. its a 4Mb version (though PCB says 8Mb). I never soldered SMD before, and manuals on google say there are two ways: with ordinary soldering wire or with paste.
soldering paste is quite expensive, is it absolutely necessary for that large socket?
is there any tutorial on assembling A608? (which components should go first?)
