This is the second post i’m seeing that says to solder the power button from the back. but i wish there are some pictures actually showing the back!
Question.
is the switch in use like a push button switch? just need to trigger open->closed->open for a while? what if i were to use a normal slide switch? would that work?
As Chris_McIntosh already said, there are only two holes visible on the back of the battery board! (See “J6” in the picture.) You can thread the wires through there and solder them.
I originally planned on using a push button switch until I realize that the switch does the opposite (I have to hold it to turn it on lol) so I decided to use a toggle switch and added a 2 point SJT connection for easier removal (with annoying wiring).
For those that use screen readers here, this user posted a 50000 byte image of an AI chatbot response. The response was very long and repeated the same information half a dozen times, but the actual information could be fit into the sentence “if your push button switch has three prongs, one may be normally open and become closed when the switch is toggled”, which is 114 bytes, a 500x reduction gleaned just by thinking and typing some characters.
