« on: September 02, 2008, 03:45:50 PM »
hey guys I am trying to help someone who purchased a psp 1000 with a busted wifi switch it seems the switch was broken off, and thee solder points taken with it, does anybody know other  solder points, or if I can scrape up part of the mother board and solder a wire in?  any help would be great as I haven't found this info in a search

try scraping off some of the paint on the traces that go to the switch. Look for a tutorial on connecting lights to the wifi switch, it will explain which two need bridged to turn wifi on permanetly.

Solder the top and middle pins together to make it always on.

not to be rude, but the contacts aren't on the motherboard anymore, as stated in the post

can I scrape up part of the motherboard to get something to solder to

Yes,

Carefully scrape the green coating from the traces that
went to the pads. This will make them bright and shiny
copper. You can solder to them to fix it.
