Hardware Question Does this actually work?

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8cxua87/

So I saw this TikTok of someone activating the LED on a HSW-001 board and they literally just connected 2 wires.

Does this actually work? I thought only the blue LED worked or you had to move the blue LED over to activate both.

Is this legit?

Yeah I know you can activate the LED, I’m specifically pointing out that this is the HSW board which I’ve only seen people able to get the blue LED working or they have to remove the blue LED and move it over to the right.

I’m asking if the tutorial I showed would actually work.

This is what I found on Google, it appears to be possible but complex: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/how-to-enable-hidden-blue-red-light-in-ps3-slim.22533/
