    Each fix below rests partly on our inference, not only on the maker's word. By this estimate, the newest firmware we know for this model has them. Not counted in the other numbers on this page.

    Show the list: estimated fixes

    Basis: The firmware we recorded for this model is on a different version line from the fixed firmware, so we assumed it has the fix because its number or date is later.
