Well done on your blog by the way, you really have done a lot of work even with Nokia on this one !.
I have not yet looked close enough. But I have a large magnifying glass with lighting that should help me get a better view. Right now I don't have a soldering tip fine enough to do repair work.

Thanks for the acknowledgment. I'm unhappy though that the work was one-way: other than initial denials that there was a problem, Nokia has been silent on the subject. They didn't even bother correcting my errors in the original assessment...

Latest poll results show 20% field failure rate. Completely unacceptable, Nokia.
