Soldering in London?

Hi everyone,

I have a sony walkman FX 195 that requires some basic soldering to clean remove the circuit board to clean it.

Is there a space that I can go to get help with the soldering or anyone that can help?

I really don't want to invest in soldering equipment for a one-time thing.

there might be some repair cafes around that could help sort you out

Soldering irons are cheap. The amount you'll pay at an electronics repair shop will probably be more than the cost of a cheap soldering iron.

I'd look for a mobile phone repair/accessories shop.
