But if there were only a few observed cases of the problem
in a large production run, these were mfgr. defects, and NOT
a design problem to be solved... If nearly ALL of a
production run shows the problem, than it is either a design
problem or a production problem, something that should be
corrected. I have seen little evidence that this is the
second case and not the first, so the question of when
Sony "solved" the "problem" is irrelevant...
