I have it all soldered except the switch. (soldered the pin connector while waiting for switch in the mail)
Went to solder the switch and knocked off one of the solder pads on J9.
Is there any where else to solder to or do I have to scrap that whole board?
Thank you in advance.

Never mind. Connected it to R10 and both the cart and roms work, but I just dropped a spring and have dark carpet. -__-

I pulled those pads up too. I found several places where it could be connected including the pads right below the designated spot. There was also a pin on the chip that I ended up using as one of the sides of my switch. Basically - glad you figured it out, you can probe around for more options.

Thanks for the reply.

That 0 Ohm resistor is just so small it's hard not to pull up one of the pads up.

 

I'm surprised I managed to do it all in one try in a couple of hours. I Soldered the pin connector in one shot without a single screw up.
I have soldering experience, but this has to be the finest soldering I've done.

 

I never did find that missing spring, I had to make a new one (cut and adjusted a 0.50 cent spring from the hardware store)
Now my power button is just a bit stiff.

 

I also found the flashback does not like to be used on a 72in 1080p LCD =P

Was cool playing pong & combat on a 72in though.
