senoko power board

This was a part of a laptop I built when I decided I needed something I could repair. I bought a Novena bare board and worked from there to build a laptop. This was a major component, which allowed the use of RC batteries to power the board. The design came from the Novena people (Bunnie and Xobs), but this was probably the most complex PCBA I’ve ever put together. Passives as small as 0201, ~200 hand-placed components.
