Default Electronics soldering

Ive got a REALLY tiny chip that I need to solder 3 wires onto, on a laptop (for password reset), ive never done soldering anywhere near this tiny before, anyone on here who does this sort of stuff, can you recomend me what soldering iron to buy? as obviously its not exactly the sort of stuff you can do with a halfords soldering iron etc like you can on an L8, lol

Any tips as well would be useful, obviously I know I need to be using tiny solder, so any recomendations on where to get the really thin stuff from would be good, and Ive got a fairly decent magnifying glass too.
