Unfamiliar pcb & switching
I just bought new Asian PAL Mega Drive and was going to add PAL/NTSC switch to it. But when I opened the console I was surprised, PCB isn´t like the one in tutorials.
here´s some pics I took.

As you can see there´s no capacitor on jp1 and the jp´s are lined in correct order 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 from up to down.
Do you guys think that it is safe to add switch to this PCB? and if I want to run the games in NTSC mode only is there need to switch or should I just connect jp3 and jp4?
btw. sorry for my bad english
