[color=red]Crack in a lot of housing in MDA devices in Germa

[cerumen]

We found a lot of damaged housing with a crack in Germany 30% is the today result.
do you have the same with other brands?
for MDA Pro is this a real killer, if 30 % of the devices are crap.
Please check asap your device, and post pictures.

Maybe that this is a callback action for all Product in the market

This has happened on every laptop I've ever had! Seems like they're quite similar issues.

i Discovered yesterday that my Jasjar has the same crack :(

[Bluediss]

No cracks jet... but only 2 weeks old!

BTW My Compaq EVO laptop is 3 years old, still no problems in that area...

I have an almost 4 month old EXEC and no cracks on mine. I can see the lines where the casing meet, but they are definitely NOT cracks, but joined plastic. Are you referring to those lines? Maybe they became unattatched on those devices.

no cracks on mine, i've been using mine since august '05, and its been thru drop-testing too~ but no such problems
mine's an early O2 prototype.

Got mine since one and a half weeks now, can not find any damage yet.

Another point for the wizard :roll:

No cracks on my Exec. Had it for a few months now.

My Jasjar has a crack on the stylus side but none on the headphone socket side. Though it is not as long as shown in the picture. It starts directly below the hinge block which has the LED (as in the photograph) but ends before the first edge. It does not cross the edge down to the vertical portion of the casing.

I observed this the first time on a very careful inspection using a magnifying glass when this post first appeared i.e. in early January when my Jasjar was around 2 months old. Another 1-1/2 months has passed but this crack is not growing and is exactly the same as it was when I first inspected it in January. Can't say for sure that if it was there when the unit was brand new or developed later. Nevertheless it seems not to be growing.

Yeah same here. Definitely not cracks as they are perfectly straight and orthogonal to the casing (and the ones on the speaker side are mirrored on the flip casing). I wonder if the initial batch was made differently and cracked and so ours were made with separate pieces so they wouldn't crack?
