5CL1320168 so thats week 32 for me.64gb thats very good,no cracks or imperfections.

woosh · 10/17/2011, 08:14 AM

Week 17 for me. Cracks-o-plenty

Semma2 · 10/17/2011, 08:50 AM

32 Gbyte week 24, fine so far. no speaker cracks or glass separation. But I am being a bit careful with it - I don't just toss it in a bag like my smaller devices.

W26 no problems

DizWhiz · 10/17/2011, 09:37 AM

week 27 and so-far-so-good. Also it lives in the HP folio.

edit: The bottom of the screen was popped up but I successfully wiggled it back flush with the case.

My TP as well as my wife's have no issues, no cracks and working as they should. So when was mine built 5cl1210 and my wife's 5cl11806?

Week 21 and 18 respectively. The two digits after 5CL1 are the indicators. Can't vouch for this, but that's the general understanding.

mine says 5CL1990. What would that mean? I have no cracks and its a 32.

That would mean the theory on the date from the SN is wrong?

that's what I was thinking. Thanks for your insight.

32gb, week 17, no cracks, no backlight bleed, etc. Pretty much perfect.

guinny1759 · 10/17/2011, 02:36 PM

If the serial numbering format is real, I then have a week 19 32GB, and no issues to report.

woosh · 10/17/2011, 05:23 PM

woosh said "Week 17 for me. Cracks-o-plenty "

bonfilio said "32gb, week 17, no cracks, no backlight bleed, etc. Pretty much perfect. "

now that's just not right.

Geffen · 10/17/2011, 09:41 PM
