PS3 2000 series Power Eject boards, enabling contour leds talk

This is a temporal section to discuss the simplest/easyer/safest/better way to make this mod, and the posible variations

Is probable that exist a prototype that uses pin1 (or is connected to an intermediary device), is needed to be 100% sure the pin goes nowhere (is posible the trace goes to an internal layer of the motherboard not visible in the surface and emerge again in a syscon pin)

If the pin1 line is really disabled, we can use it to carry other signals from the motherboard, like a temperature sensor, the PWM pulse of the fan, etc... add a small microcontroller in the power eject board with code to controll leds based in temperature (a PIC is a good candidate and there are 5v in the board) or even some kind of small display, etc...
