My son broke his ego twist clone and I'm pretty sure I can fix it.
All the wiring on the top board I have under control. But I'm unsure about the connection points on the bottom board.
Its a little round pc board with the potentiometer mounted on it.

On the front side of the board...
It has what appears to be four soldering pads drilled through but the board is single sided with all the traces covered in white paint.
Two of the pads appear to be tied together of which one is labeled "B-" and the other "B- V1".
Another pad is labeled "G1"
the fourth pad is not labeled but its the only one that looks like a wire had broken off of.

The pot is mounted on the opposite side soldered through to the front side of pc board on three points with a chip resistor between two of those points on the front side.

So the question is this...
The top board has two yellow wires that lead down past the battery to that pot board, and a black wire to neg on bottom of battery.
Which two pads do the two wires connect to ? One of those two wires come from label "J1" on the top board and the other unsure looks like ce2 or ce3

If anyone can assist me with this question i would appreciate it.

Please spare me the useless comments abourt safety and the just throw it away remarks ok.

thanks visus, but my board is not the same as the one you're showing, not even close to the same board.
mine is from a 900ma clone of an ego twist.

If you take a good look at my picture you can see a triangle, at the very top of the triangle is ground and that goes to ground on your board, it maybe is marked p1- or v1- on the twist board the bottom right side of the triangle goes to v2+ or p2+ on most twist boards, clone or joytech..

Does your pot have a number on it, it should, that would make easier assessment.

Yes it has a few numbers on it.
on one side it has these two... P 104 and 324C0
and on its face... 1 3362 3

the "Rv" is 1403
Ya, thats a bourns trimmer 100k resistance and it is pyramid/triangle pinned, find the triangle and it goes like I posted. Not to the battery Vin - +, theres separate outs for the pot and they are usually marked.. OEM twist have a 500k pot but they are the same style triangle pinned pots.. If you took it apart you should have seen the two wires that go to the pot and they are separate from the battery Vin +-..
