Hi,
Well folks, I haven't made any progress since I
last mentioned about my baby. I haven't got
a Voltimeter yet, but I am considering getting
one. However, I need to wait until after payday (15t
h).
In the meantime, I opened up my A600 and had
a look inside. I decided to do a rough diagram
of the chip layout and happened to notice
what appears to be a component missing. I'm
not entirely sure whether it was designed that
way, or whether someone removed it.
Incomplete Summary of my internals (I ran out
of time-I needed to sleep!):

Missing item from XU1 - there is an outline (in
white) clearly visible, with small circular metal
marks above and below where the component
should be. The outline looks a bit like this:

Anyone have any idea whether this should be
missing or not? Is it possible to get my hands
on the plans (schematics?) for the PCB?
