Thanks so much, Mike! I really appreciate both the response and
the kind words. I'll forward this on to the rest of my team, and
we'll let you know if we have any follow-up questions.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Cara,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No worries at all about the email, i do appreciate
the reply. Most organizations don't bother to reply to
emails these days, so getting not only a reply but a
helpful and polite one is surprising and really
appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>------------------_</div>
<div><b>On a side note, about EFF in general</b>:</div>
<div>Thanks for all you all do. As a person that
identifies as a libertarian, among many things, but
strongly a libertarian, i really appreciate your work.
Standing up for America and our freedoms. </div>
<div>It can take guts to take on the establishment and
local governments, it can really draw attention to
yourself. That is not a job for just anybody. </div>
<div>So thank you to you and to everybody who does
anything at EFF, the work y'all do is a team effort.
That means the lawyers, the fund raisers, the clerks,
the researchers, and everybody else.</div>
<div>Everybody comes together to get it done, and i can
appreciate what can go into that (for reference i work
in a law office, so i know that it can take a team to
get things done.).</div>
<div>Thanks again for being a wonderful organization. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">The product you (or someone else)
wanted to modify, repair, or diagnose, including brand
and model name/number if available. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Answer: Telephone, Nokia 6010 (from
2004 i think)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What you wanted to do and why. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Answer: I wanted to repair the
telephone so i could make and receive calls. That or
make it so i can use the “1” key, fix a sensor or even
replace a screen, or board parts. The Telephones are
very durable and last a long time, about 15-17 years,
if you treat them right, but they need maintenance.
For example i walked into a fire hydrant while walking
home one day, cracking the outer screen on the case
and the inner screen screwed to the main mother board.
I had to then once home partially dismantle another
phone of the same make and model and replace both the
outer case and the inner screen. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The same can be said for the
buttons, as the Nokia 6010 has <u>physical</u>
buttons on it. The buttons wear out, as does the
sensor below them that detects a button push. So you
have two options there, replace the button and the
sensor or just the buttons and refurb the sensor (with
electrically conductive paint). Your choice. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another reason why is that I live
in a small town with no places or stores nearby to
actually fix my phone, so it falls on me to fix it, or
i end up needed to toss it out. </p>

project, including a description of the TPM.</p>

<li class="MsoNormal">If you know, what would be
required to get around the TPM? Is there another
way you could accomplish your goal without doing
this?</li>
</ul>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">Answer: The main problem regarding
TPM, and i am not sure if this counts as TPM, if not,
then sorry for the long answers, is the unlock code
for the telephones. You need to run them through an
algorithm that is easily done by hand on paper, based
on certain variables. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will take a step back first. In
order to get parts for the phones, you need to buy
other phones, some are in known working order, others
are sold “as is” and you in turn need to be able to
power them on and test out the hardware, which means
you often need to unlock it. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This can make the process slow
because you may need parts from 2 to 3 phones to fix
one phone, so you need to unlock those phones, test
them out, and then power them down, dismantle
them....etc. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Answer: I would prefer to remain
anonymous, please. If you want to be more specific
though you could say that i live in a small town in
Michigan. I would be fine with that. </p>
