I'm about to do a stock take of my collection and I don't want to open them up if I don't need too :)
Someone have some photos of a mainboard/internal of a Samsung Made QL?

Very thanks Urs!!!

As I've imagined the Samsung made have many more metal plate shields everywhere internally, wow!

And in the DEU ver I see 2 heatsink ad the left side of the MD drives, more things respect the original QL!
