wiy go through allll that when you just can chop of that switch and solder the two wires from the switch to the new mod switch?

[Xezmer]

What new switch mod? o_O

[badboycarlos]

you know them new toggle switch's your putting on?? use them to replace the switch that came already with the coldcathodes!! it should work

[Xezmer]

That is what i'm doing.. i've done it on numerous computers including my own.

at 2:50 you got it.

after that, good enough for me.

Yeah I think I just kept rambling lol

[TDawg2k7]

Too much talking and not enough demonstrating. Would have been better off typing a guide for it and using diagrams or something.

Too much talking, I lost interest 30 seconds in.

im trying to install a toggle switch to a ccfl with on/off /and sound activation. Im thinking i need a 3 position toggle switch on/off/on. except i dont know wich to use. also what specs do i need (such as amps volts and vac? also is it a spdt switch? (single pull double throw?) do you have any wiring diagrams? this video is very confusing.

Rather than doing all the ground stuff, just cut the switch off that comes from the PCI bracket, and solder the 2 points of the switch you want to use to the wire that came from the original switch in the PCI bracket. Much Easier.
