I've given multiple machines to anna to 'bake'. Alas, it is my feedback that In general, they've ressurrected but only for a short period of time. I am unaware of a long term solution for the ramp machines.

Yes, every XO model meets RoHS. Starting with the latter half of XO-1.5 production, we also meet the USA's Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act as a child's toy. This covers nasties like phthalates (the power supply cord wasn't passing at first). The motherboards are not, however, halogen free. Despite all this certification, I know that compliance checking of suppliers/materials is expensive and rarely done periodically (the power supply cord manufacturer assured us that the second and third failing samples were phthalate-free!) Take caution (and preheat the board at 80C for an hour, not 15 min.)
