did you know that some amount of PS3 Slim has some LEDs on the board for the power/ eject switch board that afaik are never used, and not connected to anything (there's power, but you still have to ground the other end to get them to light up)

@tom nothing, they're probably left over from something they decided against but it was easier to just order the boards with them on

@noiob does it just light up the corner of the drive when it's connected to ground?

@tom yeah, I soldered a wire to it and stuck it to some metal part to test it
