Is it entirely impossible to change the two(?) capacitors on a GTA02v5 to the values of those on a GTA02v6? I can imagine that some users might want to make that fix while the device is open anyway for the buzz fix. Also, as someone suggested on the support list a while ago, how about providing a means (e.g. sysfs) of reprogramming the PMU to 1) Disable powering on the device on insertion of USB or wall charger. 2) Enable the charger. such that while the backup battery lasts, the battery can easily be recharged. (I also find the PMU default of powering on the device when USB/charger is plugged in to be sufficiently obnoxious to be worth disabling even on a GTA02v6.) -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen Danish law requires addresses in e-mail to be logged and stored for a year
