Move the jumper at J101 from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3. Cut the trace between the two pads at J500. NOTE: the trace is VERY small and VERY close to other traces…if you slip, you may end up with a DOA A500. CBM reccomends a small sharp knife like an Xacto for the cut…I cheated…I used a small drill bit (#65) in a hand chuck (like a jeweler's screwdriver) and simply turned it a couple of times and the trace was cut. Obviously, if you use my method, you only turn the drill far enough to cut the trace…not put a hole in the motherboard! One or two twists by hand is plenty.
