Looking for someone that can solder

Post by Aramas »

So my Accord's key is the FOB + the key's blade. About a month ago, the blade was snapped off from my FOB, lost the blade, and the housing for my FOB's broken now. Was thinking of going for an Acura switchblade key as my replacement since the blanks are almost the same more or less.

Here's what the damage looks like right now:

Since I have a sedan, my FCC ID is different than the coupe's, which matches the 09 TSX. So, I'm left with the route of soldering since I don't want to go with the eBay ones from China due to a good amount of complaints I've seen where the metal of the blade is too thick, the transponder being too far away, etc. while people who have soldered their key to fit the TSX haven't had any problems to date.

I would solder myself, except I don't know how to, nor do I feel confidant in doing it to a board this small (Accord on the left, TSX on the right):

What needs to be done is move the buttons to line up with the TSX's (or whatever I get my hands on that's cheaper):

Some pics of the final soldeirng product:

This one, the person didn't re-attach the LED since it was too small for him:

So yeah...Anyone able to help me out with this? I can pay for the labor and/or buy a 6-pack of beer, your choice. Don't have a TSX key yet, but will place an order once I find someone to help out with this.
