      It’s really easy. I have be soldering to repair my own guitars since I was like 12. Watch an instructional video on the internet, practice with some spare wires and circuit boards. You can learn in an hour or two.

        Problem for most people isn’t going to be the act of soldering. It’s going to be acquiring a soldering station and some solder to work with. If you intend to use it multiple times it’s not bad at all. For a one-and-done situation it’s best to just pay someone else to do it with their equipment or buy a new SSD entirely.
