store2000, thank you very much, this is exactly the kind of explanation I was looking for. stuff is beginning to fall in place now. I'll go digest this info.

I am going to look for and smoke it for a while...), and (2) whether this losing of NVRAM settings has anything common with the "device ID" problem where only the NoID RUU can flash the device...
