E.g., naïvely considering the schematic, could I cut the trace from pins 16 and 17 of the IP5209 power management SOC to jumper 2, or intercept the trace from jumper 2 to wherever it's going, and splice in a physical switch?
I thought of the very same thing, but didn't get the chance to try it: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16853
However, someone went one step further - they spliced a USB port instead of a switch, so they could charge other devices: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=17015 (but somehow this doesn't work anymore due to software reasons...)
