   while @theawesomerandomness assembled the release candidate 2 of MNT Pocket Reform motherboard today, I finished the charger PCB design update and cleanup of the headset/power switch PCB and ordered both for quick turn validation at JLC. also i am buying tons of components, but too tired to post about all of them now

     @theawesomerandomness here's the hopefully final charger PCB: i had to last-minute swap out the main charger IC for MP2650 (instead of MP2762A) because that was suddenly completely out of stock (argh). but i purchased both important chips in parallel, so this design is safe--if it works (it should!).

     @theawesomerandomness hopefuly final headset jack + power switch PCB, also finished and ordered (for validation) today. i removed the chip antenna stuff and will go with ready-made adhesive antenna for risk+cost reasons.

     @magnetic_tape @theawesomerandomness no. it is mainly used for "shipping mode" to conserve batteries while the device is in transit, or for long-term storage

     @mntmn
     Will this switch expected to be operated multiple time daily? I have a similar one (rocker SMD switch) on a small Sony DAB radio, and it failed miserabily after about a year of daily activations (2 per day) thanks to an oversight from Sony engineers.
