I've been waiting for a long time for this to come to fruition and, I have to say, you have absolutely gone above and beyond once again, sir. I just about lost my mind when I saw the repo updated the other day in GitHub, lol. My IIfx can finally live again and that makes me so very happy.

Kudos, sir - this is absolutely amazing work!

@Bolle Just out of curiosity: when working on the board, did anything obvious stand out as to why C1 tends to blow on the original IIfx board?

And finally took some time to do some boring work and cleaned up the schematics.
Those will probably help anyone troubleshooting a real or reloaded board.

Wowza! I have two battery bombed boards and would love to try transferring my good parts onto a recreation board. I was never able to get past the Death Chime on them. I'm guessing internal layers were damaged near RAM bank A from a combination of battery and capacitor vomit.

Incredible work.

This is amazing! Love this seeing this sort of work. Even my Mum was impressed and she doesn't even know how any of it works.
