Where are the solder points for the power and game slot?

I need to know so that I can replace them my self with parts bought on ebay.

Devon, post an image of "your" logic board (top and bottom) with your question so we can point those out to you. You will still need at least a soldering iron to remove the existing ports. Also, do keep in mind that "wire glue" will not have any strength to keep the ports properly positioned on the board.There are at least four tabs that are soldered so as to hold the post to the board. I strongly recommend to properly solder the parts.
