You did actually look at the picture and how she's holding the soldering iron?

There is nothing in that picture that is correct. The solder joints are on the other side of that board. And who fixes a MB like that anyway? She isn't dressed for that kind of work. But the night vision safety goggles should help That's a workbench? where's the ESD protection? She isn't blonde, but a blonde set that picture up. LOL

Hopefully it's not plugged in... Don't see smoke so maybe not. Likely the safest way to solder on a motherboard anyway, cool shades and all!
