…i also just installed a spider in my mr02. for anyone who is a newbie to this like me, i suggest you are very careful when soldering the green wire to the tab. while i was doing mine the tab came unstuck from the board and broke off, only leaving the mircoscopic track behind which is covered by the green stuff. let me just say that its not the position you want to be in…

That’s for sure! That’s why it’s good to use a nice hot iron and work quickly…you either overheated the board and therefore delaminated the solder pad or pulled a bit too hard on the wires when the solder wasn’t molten yet. Been there, done that! 😀
