: Hi,
: I just peeled off that balck sticky thing that was for the directional pad, and the points where you (oscar) soldered the wires has some black membrane stuff on it.
: Am I right in thinking that I can't solder to that? Do I have to scrape that black stuff off to reveal the sections I need to solder to?
Yes, you need to scrape the black off, being careful not to damage the traces as they can be delicate. I just used the dull blade on my pocket knife and it worked okay.
