Removing a switch component from a usb circuit board

[craigwallace34]

Hey guys,

I have a set of lights that are USB powered. They have a push button switch.

I would like to remove the switch component from the circuit board so that when I plug in the lights they come on automatically.

Is this possible/safe to do? If so is it as simple are just soldering off the switch component?

There is a resistor in the circuit board already.

Thanks,

Craig

A photo might help!

If the switch is simply on/off for the USB's 5V to the LED then shorting the switch out with a small length of wire soldered on is going to be simpler than desoldering it.
