Uplinker's anecdote sounds remarkably like the third case study (1998, 747) reported in the "Aero 10" article linked earlier.
Interesting that while in some cases the flight crew actually managed to get the anomaly to return by turning the offending article on and off, Boeing has never managed to replicate even a single reported anomaly.
Probably requires a simultaneous fault both in the electronic device and in the aircraft shielding for anything to happen, hence the difficulty in tracking it down.
