Step 3

In order to remove the magnetic pen, you must desolder the two wires connecting it to the circuit board.
When you desolder, apply the tip of the soldering iron to the soldered joint for approximately 5 - 10 seconds.
The soldered joint will turn to a liquid consistency. At this moment, remove the wire and soldering iron.
Repeat each of the following steps for the second soldered joint.
Soldering irons are dangerously hot. The soldering iron should only come in contact with joints being desoldered or soldered.
Make sure to allow time for your soldering iron to heat up before using it.
Make sure the tip of the soldering iron is cleaned so the tin on the tip is exposed. This will allow the soldering iron to work efficiently.
