  Prepare the Parts

  The first step is to disassemble your Korg NTS-1 and remove the main board. You don't need to unscrew everything for that, you only need to remove the back panel and loose the screws of the side panels where the connections are to be able to remove the board.

  Then you have to pry open your USB battery to extract the USB board and battery out of the casing. You can use a small flat screwdriver for that. Once the case is open, remove the battery carefully as it's usually glued to the case.

  Solder Wires to the Board (1/2)

  Let's start with soldering a red wire to the right pin of the green electronic fuse marked wit "1x1", located on the left side of the micro USB port on the NTS-1 board.

  Make sure to not put too much tin, to avoid shorts with nearby components.

  Solder Wires to the Board (2/2)

  After that, solder the other end of this red wire to any side pin of the power switch. Pick a second red wire, and solder one end to the center pin of the power switch.

  Then flip the NTS-1 board, pick the black wire, and solder one end to the USB port bottom pin (left or right side will do).
