Hardware mic port mod idea

These lines on the diagram I’m junctioning to: what physically are they in real life? If it’s wires or even in a flat cable assembly, it’s a simple soldering job (which would still take a whole frustrating day to make a too-flimsy connection given my track record but is something I’ve done before) or even hopefully doable with something like a wirenut or more likely a wago. But if these lines are etched onto a circuit board, that’s… a lot trickier to DIY.

It’s not wires but parts of the PCB, I’m afraid.

In my classic Reform I installed a second TRRS jack on the right hand side:

Thank you! Also maybe useful is adding an LTE modem, a USB UART serial adapter and other usb devices (bluetooth audio in my case): Adding LTE Modem and other USB devices Today I added another small thing to my reform: a second 3.5 mm audio jack: [PB132097] [PB132096] Adding the hole to my 3D printed side panel for the 3.5 mm TRS jack and soldering left and right audio to the existing TRRS jack was easy. What turned out being tricky was to solder to the ground of the existing TRRS jack which…

In my own mod, it’s just mirroring the TRRS jack on the left, creating a built-in headphones splitter so that two people at the same time can plug thear headphones in. But this mod shows that there is enough room to install another 3.5 mm jack. Instead of connecting the wires to HP_R, HP_L and GND like I did, you could solder the wires to whatever pin on the motherboard that you like.
