Guys did we secretly understand this problem and I missed it? Something horrible happens to a low percentage of RT9711 Vin protection circuit in the factory. Maybe the unknown "something horrible" comes and attacks PMU USB pins if we just 0R out the RT9711 and pass it on. I understand the redesign aspect to get rid of the RT9711 and it sounds like a cool idea (if we are sure it is good for all cases like charger)... but we only examine this situation because of chips blowing up connected to that net, and we don't know why and we cannot reproduce it here AFAIK. If we make the change we just hope that somehow the PMU USB inputs are less sensitive than the RT9711 without actually understanding what makes the problem. Hey we can still do it but that is the case I think. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgISJoACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqQQACghaBB/Rl+Uc60Z1HdJtC34VdH gIAAoIhp0D+BIPAdozLNx5l7h/F1vD53 =3BiO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
