-if you manage to solder it like this your a winner
-for the metal cover ,just jut it with cisor and put the wires under the cut.
Is that what you meant? That is how my switch currently is. :S

you already cut it ! it's not a big deal , d'ont worry.Is that what you meant? That is how my switch currently is. :S
take a picture of the conector in the motherboard if you can unscrew your switch.same problems
so you wired up all the points with that wire , it's a pain doing so.Quick word of advice to anyone who happens to come across this thread: don't just use wires that are lying around your house. You'll kill yourself. Especially if you're trying to solder everything, rather than just one or two wires. Go on Amazon, buy some AWG40, or else your soldering job will look like this:View attachment 200314
It is almost impossible to make good connections with wire like this. I wanted to see if I could go the cheap way out, but only tortured myself further.
P.S. I need some help from the more experienced solderers out there. I just ordered "Remington Magnet Wire": https://www.amazon.com/Remington-In...=sr_1_5?keywords=awg+40&qid=1584756871&sr=8-5
Can I use this in my Switch? Or is magnet wire only to be used in stuff like electromagnets? Will this destroy my Switch if I use this wire? I know nothing about different types of wiring.
@Sushi4life, sorry I didn't respond to you sooner.
No worries for replying late lol.
Thank you for your advice! I only have 1 point to solder so it would probably be much easier than yours. Seeing your picture do you know if I can cut CAT 5e ethernet cables as the wire? Do I just solder 1 of the tiny wires and it would be fine? I think yes since it's metal together.
Edit: the cables are AWG 24
so you wired up all the points with that wire , it's a pain doing so.
i guess wires are touching each others no ? i coudn't see if it touch.
PM mattytrog , he could give you some experiences advices , at this point it's messy.
you could manage the solder with 2 or 3 fat wires , but with all 0_0
are u doing the same with the points in the motherboard ?
edit : if you end up not having solution and also messing thigs up ,take a look at #8 post here :

to be sure make a aest by soldering the an sd card adapter , to have experience and to make sure the TIN catch.No worries for replying late lol.

not that kind of test.I completely forgot that was a question I had: how exactly does one test each individual point? People keep talking about "testing points," but how would you know if the connection worked without soldering everything and then testing?
are the postal company closed in your country or it's a relay post and you need to get to it to get your mail's ?I am so sad. I cannot even get my Amazon package with the flux/solder/wire since my post office that I sent to was closed.
test it , but clean it up a little , cuz in the picture you give us before , there were a mess/melting tin , so try to clean it.@Sushi4life aww, that's really sad.
I'm not much better, I finished soldering everything and my Switch still doesn't read anything.
I will try to get a tester and test all the points to see what isn't working.
Basically I ordered on Amazon (Canada) and select ship to a "pick up location" where I can take the package when I show a barcode that Amazon sends to my email when available. But the problem is that the "pick up location" is closed for an unknown duration. My pick up location was a post office.

email your post office , perhaps they can do something for you.Basically I ordered on Amazon (Canada) and select ship to a "pick up location" where I can take the package when I show a barcode that Amazon sends to my email when available.

I may need to order from other places
