Unlikely since those caps are under a can and dismounting it requires extra effort and you can damage something doing it. >> AFAICT A7s are affected while at least some A6s (mine e.g.) not. > > Hmmm... that's bad. > > Are there many differences like these? I don't know of anything important except those fake 0Rs and that the bass was a bit improved in A7 (from 1uF to 4.7uF). If you're really that interested, ask Joerg. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
