The two are not the same. Im sorry but there are component and connectivity differences as youve listed it may be exactly that component or connection causing the failure and there are software differences. I dont see how its possible from the report only to conclude conclusively that it is or isnt a software issue.
from a users perspective we dont care why or how it failed we only care that it did. The actual reason is only going to be of interest to Kevin.
Either way - it fails. Im sure Kevin will be on top of a fix though
There are no component differences between the 2 boards.. the only difference is that one gets connected to a solenoid externally and the otehr gets connected to a hud..
The place the FIELD is pointed at probably could be a variable.. If the field was directed towards teh bottom side of the head, then its directed at the exposed solenoid.. Which wouldn't happen in real life ad shouldn't be comsidered since its not completely assembled since it would be in a metal can.., if it was pointed at a particular handset that one would be exposed to different levels..
There is no indication on how the test was performed, whether each handset was tested individually, whether the whole head was tested at once.. These are alot of variables.. Where the focal point of the test was ect..
And to be fair the tests need to be performed exactly the same way for all units tested.. I understand they only had 1 to work with, but if your going to publish results against a competitor that should be detailed enogh so that they can be analyized for discrepencies..
Its not that hard to figure out test parameters that might influence the outcome..
