I have read the tutorials on installing a switch on the matrix, but all of them require soldering. Is there a way to do it with absolutely no soldering ?

Thanx in advance

If that would work then yes, can I install it with tape

theres no need for a swith just use the eject trick

I don't trust the eject trick, plus I would rather install a switch so I can switch between all of the modes so when my cousins come over they can't mess with any of my games and progs

The thing is, I don't have a soldering iron and have hardly any money. That is why I don't want to solder it. That is why I want a no solder way. Plus, I want the matrix to be solderless like it was meant to be.

Can I use something like this

or this

Those would be used for in place of soldering to the part where the screw goes.

But I need to find a type of glue or something so I don't have to solder to the switches, any ideas ?

you can get a soldering iron for like $10, if you can't afford that, then you shouldnt have been able to afford the mod chip

maybe see if you can find some small aligator clips they may clamp on the spots.

CODE

-----------0|||||||0-------------

------- = wire
0 = loops for wires
|||||||= switch
