What wattage should I use to solder a 3ds charge port?

Hi Guys

I'm about to attempt to solder my 3ds' charge port back on as it has worked it's way loose.

To anyone who has done this before what is the best wattage to use when soldering the 3ds.

I have 40 watt soldering iron and I am concerned I may apply to much heat and destroy the components on the board.

Thanks

the unit of measurement to solder is not watts its degree or Celsius. the solder is what your applying heat too. i would not use a soldering iron as the tips are usually to large. a hot air rework station would be best for this delicate work.
