Florin, no, the available spare SMPS boards are good for all QMX revisions. And these boards are with some changed elements compared to REV 1 to enhance the robustness.

Ludwig, got it that's good to know. I was already set on doing some things better from the previous build, so in the end it worked out but in case I'll ever need just the power supply boards I'll make sure to get those. Again, thanks for all the support!

I used to reverse-engineer cell phones and other devices and my best solution is to use multiple colors of AWG28 wire-wrap wire and a fine-tip iron to tap the circuit nodes I want to measure.
Those are some very good points, Don. The build has definitely sparked more interest in debugging hardware and relearning skills I haven't used in more than a decade at this point. I'll be applying your suggestions in the near future for sure, thanks for sharing.
