alternative soldering points for DVD eject

[Surrido]

Hi,

i have a f***ed up DVD eject "port" a guy tried to replace the switch and more or less ripped out the traces...

i have read that i simply need to short PIN 3 of the DVD power port with ground, but that doesnt work. is there another place/point where i can solder a switch to in order to do this? maybe inside the DVD drive?? (its a toshiba samsung

thanks for your help guys!

[Surrido]

nothing?

did he rip off the resistors too? show me a pic and I'll be able to tell you what to do

[Surrido]

yes, the resistor (TOP side mainboard) that is at the trace coming from the eject switch is GONE

[pablot]

k, you can easily rebuild it.. there are two resistors there, but one will be enough.. just connect the solder a wire from the eject button to pin3, then add a pull-up resistor from pin3 to 5Vsb, say 10k... that should do it

[Surrido]

so all i need is to "inject" 5V trhough 10k to pin 3? from any 5V source on the board?

[pablot]

not sure if any will do.. maybe has to be a standby voltage.. so grab the 5V that is on in standby directly from the plug.. or actually I don't even know if it should be 5V or 3.3V, hm.. might be best if you measure it on a working 360 first

[Surrido]

you are right, should be standby, otherwise stwitching on with eject would not work...

i will measure it on the switch on a working 360. should be fine then, thansk

(if anybody knows whether its 5 or 3v, let me know
