The 640 was on W10M Anniversary Update, no insider ever.
After some months everything broke: Camera cannot save photos and even worse: WIFI did not work at all.
No internet, except for mobile/4G.
Last night, tried the Creators update. Over 4G. Took some while to free some space, make a backup. The 640 tried to block me, as 4G internet is "so expensive". Well, it finally surrendered. And the update went well.
Results: camera is working again, and even better: after a soft reset, wifi also started working again. The 640 is revived.
What I learned? While I believed initially in hardware problems, especially the non-working wifi, it was all software. A borked Anniversary Update by a talentless development team. Now I hope it will not break again. The next major bug and I'm out to get an Android.
If you suffer similar problems, try it out. Install the CU, make a soft reset and if there are still problems, a hard reset. You may be positively surprised.
