Pictures of NXT Production Hardware
Here are some pictures of the hardware of a production NXT.
This is a view of the top of the motherboard.
According to the
schematics released by LEGO
the part missing in the upper right was a battery current sensor on AD5.
The black smudge at the square speaker connector covered
an additional part in the speaker cable, a 10 Ohm resistor
which is not in the schematics.
I unsoldered it together with the speaker cable
to get the LCD daughter board out of the way for photographing
the motherboard.
This is the bottom of the motherboard.
Note that RA4 and R90, the pull-up resistors for the JTAG connector J17,
are still present (thanks LEGO!), like in the prototype version.
