>There has been a few reported incidents with laptops etc causing interference with nav systems.

Do you have a source for that?

Search for "laptop" and you have a few examples of spurious TCAS RAs.

In some older report there was a specific instance where the pilot out of curiosity had the passenger turn the device back on, and had the problem reappear (this was in cruise so there was more time to debug the problem). Google for NASA PED reports and it should be in one of them.
