Ak-me-blad!

Well, I'll shut up about the magnet

Sounds like you didnt have a hot enough iron to make a good joint, or did you shorten the original wires at all? They have a speical coating on the them, with only the last 1-2cm being bare wire; you have to scratch off the coating before you can solder to the wires properly.

The iron is pretty hot (touched with my fingers a couple of times

). I think it's 160W, but would have to check that.

I didn't shorten the wires (but I bought it used), but like you said the last 1cm was exposed. So I would have to scratch it off and then solder..
