Hi everyone,
I am hoping someone here can give me a hand with a case build I am working on for a front loader type NES. Some things I am trying to modify in this build are the original power and reset buttons, I am also attempting to remove the RF Module completely and hardwire the Composite Video and Audio directly to the board. Problem I am facing is I can't really find any information or pictures out there of how to bypass all of the components in the RF Module so that it is no longer needed though I am fairly certain this is possible.
Does anyone have any pictures of how all of this is bypassed or is anyone willing to reach out to me in a chat program (any application will do) and help me understand better how to solder all of this to the board without frying it.
I will provide pictures today or what I am trying to do. So that maybe it makes more sense.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATED PICTURES:
Alright so the basic concept is to place buttons / 2.1mm Power Barrel Jack and RCA Video/Audio jacks onto an acrylic front. The Image below shows what I mean, though the actual
power jack and rca connections are moving to the side or back not the front.
(I know I am horrible in photoshop)
These are the type of buttons I am trying to use, one is a latch type for power and the other a momentary type for the reset.
I actually wired them up with clips to the blue connection following the wires from the original power/reset buttons and I actually got them to work, though I think I might have messed something
up with the power because after a while the screen went black and never recovered.
So then I decided to remove the RF Module, which I did, but it also lifted up 2 of the pads, which from watching videos online I guess this happens at times. I have multiple boards so that isn't a big deal but I did try to reconnect the 5 pin to the board even though the mask and pads do not seem to be flat. So maybe someone could tell me if this board is ruined or not.
Anyway I am new to all of this and just looking for some friendly advice/help. I am really looking for advice on how to remove the RF Module completely and hardwire power/reset buttons, the power jack and the RCA connections. I am not sure where to make these connections and if any resistors ect. will be needed.
Thanks in advance anyone willing to respond.
