If it is "wobbly" then do a quicksolder install.... much faster, and better contact. That's my only suggestion!

Use more solder. Mine moved around a bit and I had trouble getting the chip to power up right until I stopped being afraid to put a little solder in there. Remeber you got to get solder up in the PINs and around the base.

He is referring to the chip on the pinheader, not the pinheader-LPC connection.

Really, this is how most/all pinheader installs are. If you are worried about it tilting/losing connection just do what 'petegas' suggested and use some tape - it does not take much to hold it in place.

Carefully bend the outer two pins ever so slightly and reinsert the mod, by bending the pins you get a tigher fit.
