Take out the battery, SIM and uSD. Where the contacts for the uSD meet the PC board there will be a SMD capacitor (about .5x1mm) between two of the contacts, _IF_ it's newer than V5. I don't know what the physical difference is for the power tweak. (V6 can power up from wall power without battery) You can also look at the datecode on the serial/imei sticker under the battery, but I don't know the exact cutoff date. I know that datecodes from June are V5 and from August are V6. j -- Joel Newkirk http://jthinks.com (blog) http://newkirk.us/om (FR stuff) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
