Hi Guys,
I bought a used DC because I needed a replacement motherboard. Now I have discovered a modification. What could that be?

OK, thanks. The modification according to the link is not the same. But it tends to be similar.

I don't want to remove that. I can't get the original back because leg 28 is no longer connected to the board and my knowledge of soldering is not very high. I better buy another motherboard and sell it again ...
And I count 5 wires. Wire 1 is soldered somewhere else, the rest fits:

This Mod-chip injects the correct country code during the boot sequence, so you are able to play IMPORT GAMES include Japan, USA and Europe titles. This Mod-chip are equipped with the latest codes.

The modchip makes sense because the console plays EU, US and JP games ... I tested it.
