Bah, honestly I can't let myself get mad over this (as on my end it's frustrating).
Sent a few emails and PMs to people who offering their services here, if anyone reads this and will allow me to ship you the drive (or PCB only?) from Canada, PM me the cost to repair it!
Thanks,
Sam
that my friend is when you didn't cut a trace fully.....it happened to me once until i get to realise that the homemade switch almost got smoke cause of the excessive heat emits from the voltage points.
Unsolder the device and re-cut the traces fully, and use a multi-tester to ensure the cut traces don't have any continuity

How do you check if there is continuity with a multi-meter? should you get a reading or no reading? I don't understand this step. All of the points should read 0's when measuring resistance?
