Follow the leads from the pins on the tiny board back to the cable between the screen and the tiny board, follow that cable, and then solder to the pins the wires are soldered to.

that would work...but is there a guide or anything? it would be a lot easier if someone had a pic and just said

"this pin connects to HP L and this pin to HP switch..." it would make it easier. but thanks Valium. thats what ill do in the meantime.

i just need to know what pin connects to HP L what to HP R and which to HP switch.

i remember seeing a guide on here or a VERY similar forum, but i cant locate it anymore.

The headphone pins are in the Psone screen faq. (looking at the bottom of the headphone jack) the left pin is left audio, right pin is right audio, and the pin closest to the jack is ground. At least, that's what it is for all of my other headphone jacks.

Pinout as below. I took this from the excellent topic from Life of Brian a while back, changed the picture and re-made it to make it more visual:

I made that guide because I couldn't find the information anywhere either and had to piece it together myself. When in doubt read the sticky!

Indeed, and it has been very handy for us, greatly appreciated. I used it in my project, as you know.

The left, right and ground can be easily identified by using a multimeter, however what of course isn't obvious is wiring the two other connections together (HPS), which of course is the important bit!

I looked for a while on Google, amazingly it is still hard to find the information about this.
