There has never been confirmation but I suspect somewhere along the way two different batches of some hardware component made their way into PB360 production. It explains the issues in the field and in the upgrades since the firmware would have to detect and account for the variant hardware.
My first thought was that the hardware issues were in newer models only but since all the new ones don't misbehave its starting to look like the variant batch didn't replace the original but got blended in.
Hopefully there will be a hardware fix.
Someday.
