Hi,
I'm not quite sure why you adopt such an antagonistic attitude.
Because you have been told numerous times that what you are asking for
simply does not exist.
Still, you are not justified in your attitude.
You should assume that I know something that I can't reveal...is that bad?
I would bet you 1000 Euros, and I am not rich, that the Nokia kernel
team has a workaround patch.
So how do you want to send me the money?
you'll still have to wait a bit so don't go spend it yet...:-)
Even though my grand plan may be evasive to some, it should be obvious
thta I am trying tyo pressure Nokia into allocating time to provide the
code for the patch.
There is no such patch, nor will there ever be. If we could generate code
that fixed faulty hardware the world would indeed be a better place, but
unfortunately you cannot turn lead into gold either.
You will admit that some code can workaround some HW faults, no?
The reason for not having it in the device: you are convinced that if any
reason would exist, you would be personaly aware of it?
Yes, I would. Since I am a Nokia developer on this device, and I
personally had a proto with this exact failure. The fix was to replace
the LCD. And it did not coincide with changing R&D mode or any other
significant event, it just went bad. It happens.
Ok, so the reproducer is wrong. It does not mean that the workaround
does not exist.
The LCD hasn't "failed". The reference here is

The LCD did fail. It just happend to occur when they were doing something
else and they drew incorrect conclusions.
Alright, bad word choice on my part, but see previous.
Best Regards,
Philippe
