DO NOT DO THIS MOD UNLESS YOU KNOW IT IS SAFE
Hardware modifications can be potentially dangerous, cause fires and for sure void your warranty. Any modification you do is on your own risk, I take no responsibility whatsoever of the result of this mod. In some countries it may even be illegal to modify existing devices.
That said, I've been running multiple installation of these continuously for years without issues.

- Solder equal length wires from the sender line pads to the receiver lines. Note that the wires cross!
