what do you mean? acars sent it's last transmission at 1:07am. the last radio transmission was at 1:19. the transponder went off at 1:21.
i'm proposing a fire occurred basically right after the last radio transmission. unlikely coincidence? yes, obviously. but it fits what we know.
as for the inmarsat satellite data, i think that is housed on the top of the plane and in a completely different area from the acars/radio transmission area, which is why it remained undamaged.
