Your photo is terrible, you cannot deduce anything from it.

Are you sure it is a home-made mod?

If you look at this photo of an A590 motherboard (Ignore the two power mod wires.)



There is a similar wire on this A590 motherboard (blue wire)

It looks like it could be a factory mod (i.e. to fix a PCB flaw)?

Leave it alone?

For less than €75 you could get the superior GVP Impact II HD8+

Sit on eBay UK for 2-3 weeks and you'll get a (yellowed) working A600 for under €30

If you're willing to take a gamble... much much less.
