today I done the switchless mod for a PAL Mainboard.
Its the third different mainboard i looked at.

Mainboard PC BD SATURN MAIN VA0 Pal

At the solder Side you will find some Jumper from JP 6 to JP 13
cut the three circuits at Jumper JP7, JP10, JP12 for Language preparation

remove Jumper 2 (50Hz, 60Hz switching)
Wire PIC like shown at the picture:

For make the Reset Button work, you have to cut this circuit on the parts site of the mainboard:

Remove the LED PCB. It holds a 5x2mm square LED.
Replace it by a Duo LED and use some glue
Left red wire, middle GROUND (take it from the mainboard), right green wire.
