Help with Raspberry Pi power

[tyguy2]

After a recent blunder with a raspberry pi (I bricked a board and the custom OS on the SD card  ), I've learned to be a bit more careful before powering my raspberry pi. I want to power my new A+ through the protection offered in the USB power port, but I don't want to use a bulky cable. I also don't really want to use the GPIO header. Are there any test points on the A+ that allow me to provide power to the RPI with the protection? I read that you could use PP1 and PP2, but I want to be sure. I've already got a lot of circuitry attached to the RPI, and I'm not in the mood to desolder all of it off of a dead board.

I solved my own question. PP1 can be used as a 5v input and PP3 is a ground reference.
