Years ago i tried to change the ON/HOLD slider on my psp E1000 and two of the 4 contact pads where sheared of the motherboard. Is there a way to fix it or bypass the slider to turn the device on and off?
Is this a good question?

Hi!
It also look damaged at the F4001 side.
I think it would be easier to replace the motherboard in this case.
You could try to scratch it carefully there where the broken pads are and see if you can reveal the copper.
Cannot see easily where the traces are... So I'm afraid a motherboard replacement would be way easier to get the job done.

It may be possible to glue the slider back down on the circuit board and wire jumpers to the pins, but we'd need to see what you're working with. Can you post some high resolution closeup photos of the switch and the place it's mounted on the circuit board? Hopefully we can identify the traces that need to be reconnected and suggest how you can get it working again.
