In a previous news, we announced you the arrival for back to school 2013 of a new TI-Nspire CX hardware revision. TI-Nspire CX equipped with this new hardware could not properly run system and Boot2 versions 3.1, and thus there was no way to use Ndless or Nlaunch on them.
Next we did teach you, at least for France, how to spot old Ndless/Nlaunch compatible calcultors directly in stores without having to unseal the bundle.{:thumbsup:}
HW-J calculators reported to us so far had the "P-0313J" or "P-0413J" datestamps on the back at the right of the serial. This meant that they were manufactured in China in March and April 2013.
The Ndless/Nlaunch community hasn't even been able yet to understand exactly which change in the new hardware was responsible for the 3.1 incompatibility, that Texas Instruments has already released a new hardware version, hardware revision K which was reported today on the TI-Planet chat. The "P-0613K" on the back shows us it was manufactured in june 2013.
We don't know yet if HW-K is a minor HW-J revision, or if new protections were added. In their sudden race for the closure and the safety of the TI-Nspire CX it's very likely that Texas Instruments did add some another additional protection again, just to be sure that Ndless and Nlaunch will never come back.
