im with bard
unless you are realy good at soldering get a solderless adapter!!
i spent 3 weeks of my apprentiship soldering 10 X 10 cm grids with one cm bits of wire and bits of wire bent to make my name
lpc pins are not too bad but if you dont know what your doing your gonna get dry joints or lifted track !! only apply heat to the pins not the track and let the solder flow but there is an art to knowing when its done
if your doing a lpc rebuild on a 1.6 use the solderless adaptor or you stand an 80% chance of trashing your box!!
as for the frag prob check the pcb realy carefully some solder boils and spits tiny blobs so look beyond where you soldered could be a blob shorting or a heat cracked track harder to find and fix look for discolouration dull solder joints arround where you had the iorn and if you find any reflow them hope you sort it
