I’ve also kind of figured they were disabled, but most likely dumped-off to divert the search. Have they even picked-up any pings yet? I haven’t read anything about either black box.

I believe they have picked up several pings going southwest off the west coast of Australia (I think).

OR...perhaps they had a "dummy" blackbox in the storage compartment that they turned on and "flushed" into the ocean. The black box is actually orange. Suppose they painted it black.

Once they picked up the dummy....they'd be looking there again.
