I believe I've read somewhere (probably another branch of this thread) that the LED issue will be fixed for all shipping Freerunners because they just need to switch out a transistor (though the current testing models still have it). So no surgery will be necessary. - --Bert -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIFy9AVfxFjPpfJ3oRAnVnAJ93Muj5ScPQ0X1NCJ1U36vARayNBgCeI2xL 5Jvjs1Skm5rk06gHJiRRrtg= =3Cjq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
