Note that the current shipping firmware can sometimes report false positives for sticky keys in the keyboard test. So if you think you have sticky keys upgrade the firmware to Q2D13 and also duplicate the test under Linux to verify you really have a sticky key. > I appreciate any other ideas on testing the XO's, particularly testing > the batteries and the network. All the battery failures I've seen can be detected with a full charge/discharge cycle. Unplug the laptop from ext power and let it run down until you get a red led or it shuts off then plug up to ext power and recharge. Re-charge should take at least 1.5 hours. Then unplug again. Build 656 should run in idle for 3 to 3.5 hours. If you get a green LED in less than 1.5h or the XO shuts off pre-maturely, or if the Red light flashes, then RMA that unit. If you get an early shutoff you might repeat the test. At least one report of a battery getting better after a few cycles. Not sure if this was just user error or really valid. If the battery-won't-charge problem is there then the charge time drops to 10's of minutes so its a quick re-test. Right now I'm only interested in units that have _flashing_ red led. So if you get a flashing LED contact me please. I have plenty of data for the other problem. But if you are curious or think you are getting confusing results you can run olpc-logbat and watch the numbers or send them to me and we can analyze any issues. -- Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
