What is this switch?
Hi everyone, I received a joblot, there is a motherboard with a ram upgrade and in the bottom there is a switch soldered to 3 points, I wonder what is it? There is also a component that is missing, I took a picture of it. I also don't know what is it
Thank you
Thank you

Its either a switch to enable the write points for tsop flashing or switching banks on a 1mb bios, i notice only half of the ram upgrade was completed.

The ram chips are soldered on the top as well, I just didn't take a picture of it. Do you know what is the component missing? I want to try to desolder the same from the other mobo and solder it in the 128mb mobo and try to see if it works.
