There are a bunch of solder pads for components with no components on them! what do they do aaaaaargh

[fusion_power]

Nice, the new one has more gold in it I guess, some solder points and connections of Rev. 4 look silver but it simply can be from the light around.

The Battery contact can't be right, maybe a safety cover or so, one single metal part can't connect a batttery to the system. O.o"

It looks 3D to me, more a SMC connector for the cable to the contacts on the battery part of the case.

Most of them look like hacking points - TX2 and RX2 must have something to do with transmit / receive pairs on the EXT connector, there's the JTAG, there's the extra LED pads, and I don't know what SDA / SCL / GND is used for, but it looks like some kind of communication port that he left open and labelled clearly for hardware guys to use.

Data, clock, and ground. They're used for I2C communication.

I've been trying to identify U13 for a long time (left side of the headphone socket). Can somebody agree with me that the bottom marking is AIZ?
Or can MWeston confirm that?

Great photos.
I would like a 'change log' or something to know the differences other than solder pad sizes.

I would like to buy a board alone if theres ever a chance. (No interest in a beagle board)

EDIT 2: and what's that unfinished looking part on the upper right?!

Looks like the insulation was scraped away to obtain a nice big 0V measurement point.

Nope, that's to connect the shielding of the LCD ribbon cable so that it passes CE

Looks to me like A/2 or possibly 1/2.

EDIT: With possibly TWJ written above it.

Comparing to http://gs113.photobucket.com/groups/n213/I0S2J7KION/?action=view&current=IMG_1037-1.jpg&newest=1&co=10 it looks like AIZ with N7C written above it but i'm 0.1% sure of that (I cant find a damn thing with that data, that is).

[nikkopt]

not really

Tks urjaman, it's really AIZ, therefore: http://focus.ti.com/...k/tpa6110a2.pdf found.

Edit: ouch, server crash xD . Btw, i always knew it was the amp but not which one.

So is this one of the mass produced boards? or has there been more changes? I thought the rev 4 boards where approved and being populated?
