As 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.
