Strange beatoff freq of data refresh and cell AC oscillator??? Worth tuning 
settings of all these LCM-ASIC-timers a *little* and to look for changed freq 
of flicker.

We both know this means nothing nowadays ;-)

When i heard of red-only flicker (i own no NEO at all, so i'm sad i can't 
reproduce), i had another look to the c-ds, and i see (p.7) the Red4 and Red5 
data lines to be rerouted, by a strange redesign for GTA02 (probably to save 
an R-Array chip), through U6002 (LPF?!?), whereas same datalines go to 
R-array(! NO LPF) RP6005 in GTA01. Well i'm wondering... 

Anyway i agree, it's best to "fix" the glamo, better than to hack the LCM
