A top-down view of an open HDMI switch resting on a wooden surface, exposing its blue printed circuit board inside a silver metal enclosure. The board features a row of LEDs along the top, four HDMI ports on the bottom edge, and one HDMI port on both the left and right sides. It has clearly been modified: a bundle of red, black, and purple wires runs through a clear heat-shrink tube across the center of the board, connecting the former IR receiver location and original barrel jack to a newly installed 2.5mm TRS jack on the left edge to supply power, ground, and signal. On the right side, a thin yellow bodge wire connects the +5V pin of the side HDMI port to the VCC connection near the main barrel power input, which is secured with hot glue.
