Power!
Power connector soldered to the USB port (I ended up taking the plastic casing off the power connector, as you'll see). I'm going to install a switch for the YBox2's power next, so that I can turn it off when using another video source.
PLEASE NOTE: Seriously... you need a good soldering iron for this and a fine tip. If you're unsure, maybe consider just using two power bricks or stripping a mini-USB plug and using that to get power to the YBox2. I chose the scarier route. Hey, it's halloween. *shrug*
That USB connector is TINY. I pulled off the back part of its shield for better access and soldered ground to the shield. FYI, it's the right-most pin (relative to this photo - the pin closest to the RCA connectors) that carries the +5v.
DISCLAIMER: This WILL void your warranty, you CAN screw this up and I WON'T be responsible if you do. You've been warned. Proceed at your own risk.
