Okay, I am pretty new to modding. I've read a lot in these forums and I have some ideas for what I'm gonna do.

One thing is I want to move the sync button to a different place so I can smooth the faceplate. What would I need to do? I'm assuming just solder some wires and add a switch? Where would I solder them and what kind of switch would I need? Momentary NO?

Yes you need to use a momentary switch. Here is a picture of the motherboard and I have put two blue arrows to show you where you need to solder your two wires to.

Thanks a lot, man!

Just to make sure, this switch will work, right?

Here is the point on the motherboard. You simply solder this point to one lead of the new button and the other lead to ground.

If you want the points on the RF module as well let me know and I will post that too.

Alright, just wanna make sure. You're pointing to the little metal pieces on top of the button, right? On my mobo, those are a lot smaller looking than the ones in your picture. Almost too small to solder to.

Yes I am pointing to the two metal leads on the top of the button.

If you rather solder to the other leads then these will work too.
