New rules for buzz fix
Friday, July 3rd, 2009
To increase tracking ability of any single buzz fix, we made a new workflow.
From now on there is a buzz fix product in our eshop. To make a rework you can buy it like a normal product. After the checkout you will send your Freeruner to us. We will fix it and will give you back. These are the infos for the buzz fix rework:
- Rework is only for the BUZZ FIX
- Rework date for all the Freerunners is on 13th of July. Customers will receive back their Freerunners in two weeks.
- Freerunner should be at eshopen.com on 12th of July, so sent them before11th of July.
- The 2 way shipping cost will be covered by the customer. The returning shipping cost is already calculated for you when you purchase the buzz fix rework
- The buzz fix can be shipped in EU only due to import/export problems
- Customer will receive an additional battery for free
- Just sent your Freerunner without any battery, stylus, headphones, pouch and microsd card.
- In case of damage of your Freerunner, you will receive a new Freerunner (only the ones bought at eshopen.com)
- Payment method is wired bank transfer
- It is possible to have group shipping. Just add to cart how many rework
- You need and pack all the freerunners into a single box.
After the checkout, you can send your Freerunner to

No bass fix, too much risky
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009As we announce in the previous posts, on Monday and Tuesday we tried to accomplish the bass fix procedure. Unluckly the fix failed.
The bass fix is not an official Openmoko procedure even if it has been written by an Openmoko employee. In order to assure to its customers a good quality procedure Eshopen tried to proceed with the bass fix. it has been helped by a smd components production and assemblage firm (RDS in Milan, which is our partner). The bass fix was, at the end, very risky. The capacitors which should be changed are very small and the risk to damage near components is too high. For these reasons, and not to damage customer’s FreeRunner, it has been established to do not proceed with the bass fix.
Customers who sent their Freerunners for the bass fix should receive a mail shortly with the refund methods. If you didn’t receive, contact Nadia.
