Because the shit sticks to it better than toilet paper . <| sep |> Got the classic . I had the dark sporty S 2 and didn ' t really like the color . I also didn ' t want all those numbers and notches on the bezel . <| sep |> Honestly , I ' m desperately trying not to get any more depressed about 2016 by saying that nothing massively terrible has happened yet that could be attributed to this , and if Spez really wanted to fuck with the trumpets he could ' ve done something much , much worse and much , much less opaquely . At least , that ' s what I ' m trying , anyway . <| sep |> Hard to imagine a world before Upper Downer Samuel Flounder came along <| sep |> If you look at the PADS that were removed , you can follow the TRACES back just a hair , as you can see the bump for the copper before it hits the VIA to a different layer . If you take a small , thin , flat steel object very small screwdriverxacto knife you can scrape off some of the coating on the trace , and solder to that . It isn ' t pretty , but it works well . I have to do this more often then I should in board level work . I know it works , but you will probably have to finagle the final positioning a bit . And I highly recommend either hot glue , or silicon on the cable , as the joints are not going to be as solid mechanically , as the traces are likely not adhered to the PCB ad well anymore .
