Quoted from Jmckune:I held it there for quite a while but don’t know if it wouldn’t stick because of the oxidation or if it just wasn’t hot enough.
I wonder is somebody put that diode on there with a higher temperature solder, like silver solder or something ?
Did you put the diode on ? If so that went good. Using the same solder ? If so maybe your soldering iron is failing to heat up ?

Quoted from Jmckune:but these terminals are giving me fits.
Weird. I've always found them to get hot quick and stay hot and melt off solder that was already there.
I think I'd remove all the solder. And start over with new solder.
