You'll need a steady hand for the next step...



Step 3 > Solder wires to the center of the forward & pause/playback controls. I recycled the wire from the battery.

Be very careful to only make connections with the "center" of the connection pads!

Also, don't heat the pads too much! I lost the center button on mine. (Note the image)



Recommended: Once you have the connections soldered in place, use some hot glue to strengthen the connections.



Special note: A keen observer will notice that the connections I've listed do not correspond to the actual buttons. I've discovered that the method I'm using works fine. See the second image for a map of the controls as we'll use them.
