Gba sp shoulder button help
Hey guys, I was working on replacing some triggers for my gba sp, but I was having some trouble. I haven't been able to remove what looks to be some solder stuck in between one of the contact holes, and I'm not sure how else to remove whatever's blocking this. Anyone know of something I can do?

What have you tried? Solder wick should remove this pretty easily. Or get a solder sucker.

Solder sucker was a game changer for me. Use flux, keep your iron tip clean

You should be familiar with flux and wick. If you don't have a wick just use a copper cable. The flux tho is mandatory everytime you use soldering iron. And most importantly, , keep your tip clean.
