To cap off the thread, here's the "F/W Upgrade" jumper.
Did this thing need a jumper in place to enter the firmware upgrade mode?
Then what is the point with the external upgrade connector?
Also, yes, I did nab the 32MHz crystal and all of the 3.5mm audio connectors.
You folks are likely gona see those in some future build.

A little tip when putting a #Psion 3mx back together that you don't have to worry about on the older Series 3 units.
When installing the mainboard, *ALWAYS* have the SSD doors open. The 3mx uses microswitches to detect door state; earlier models just use pads and contacts.
I have snapped off the plastic parts of the microswitches on a 3mx prototype. They are impossible to replace without cannibalising a 3mx or two Series 5 units.
Learn from my mistakes!
