I just got my USB GDROM in and I heard it runs cooler and less hot if the 12V resistor is removed. I’m new to the whole soldering thing so I need some clear instructions on how to do this and what to remove. I just bought a soldering iron, a solder sucker, some desoldering braid, and some solder wire as it came in two separate kits for under $20.
So, in easy to understand terms and preferably with pictures, what am I removing and how would I do it?
