Step 2 Take apart and ready the tv remote jammer!

Okay, so this step is relatively simple, all you have to do, is take off a screw located on the back of the jammer, that holds in the batteries. then take out the batteries, and split the case. Take the chip out, and unsolder the battery connections. then cut two 5 pieces of your hookup wire (I used color coded wire, IE red for + and black for -) then strip the ends, and solder them onto the board where the originals were. Then unsolder the included 3mm LED (which is crap in my opinion), note where the leads were, and resolder your new dark blue 5mm LED where the old one was. Then take some, hook up wire, and solder each of the left side of the buttons prongs together and the right sides prongs together see picture for details. Then take your switch, and attach your new positive lead from the circuit board, and solder on the the prong on the left, and take the positive from the battery holder, and solder it to the middle prong, and take your negative from the battery holder and solder it to the end of the new wire you just added to the board. then take a two more 5 hookup wires, and strip the ends, and solder on to each of the wires coming from your red 3mm led, which should come included in your led assortment pack. Add your AAA batteries to the holder, and turn the switch to the on position, and touch the wires from you new led, to where you soldered the wires from the switch and the battery holder, one to positive, and one to negative. flip them until the led turns on the mark on your led on the side with a maker, where positive is +, then solder. You are now done with the jammer!

Instead of electrical taping the whole TV jammer, wouldn't you be able to desolder the switch and use that elseware (e.g. another 'ible) and just solder the two points on the PCB together, which would make it always on, and no need for electrical tape. I'm sorry if i'm wrong i'm just getting into electronics and circuitry, i'm a beginner at it.

Well Actually it's funny you said that, because about 2 days after I put this onto Instructables, I did exactly that, added an led tester, changed the flashlight LED to two blue superbright LEDs, like 6 bucks EACH!!! I just haven't had the time to update this...Maybe tomorrow...
