Re: F11-for-XO1.5 Release 10.1.1 Release Candidate 4- Hardware issue?

2010-07-12 Thread Yioryos Asprobounitis
I did find some time open up mine.Nothing loose, burned or otherwise strange in 
the macro-inspection.
The microSD has the all the files and partitions and no errors (checked with an 
adapter in a Fedora machine). The XO-1.5 screen works fine on my XO-1.
Anything else I could check, or just fight my son for the other XO-1.5?   :-)

Hi all,
My XO-1.5 B2 just entered this state last night. The only difference is that I 
was using it, writing e-mail, and then it rebooted itself. After that it would 
no longer boot so I tried to run memtest. It crashed on the second test with a 
random character on the right side of the screen and then it would no longer 
boot, the screen just flashes.


Should I disassemble it to inspect it? I have some experience repairing 
motherboards with cold solders, bad caps, etc.
Best regards,Tiago

I clean installed os205 on an a working XO-1.5 (#SHC00500908).

On first boot it froze about 4sec into the boot process, I think at loading 
mass storage devices or something relevant.

On hard reboot (with power button for 5sec) the backlight blinks for a split 
second but the screen stays dark. The power light comes on but not the 
processor and wifi lights. No chime either.

Reseting the EC by battery removal, get the familiar blinks but no change in 
behavior.

Is the XO-1.5 bricked?

Is there anything that I can do (replace micro-sd? make sure screen ribbon is 
fine? other?).

Any ideas

Thx

Double the time you previously tried, up to five minutes.  If you've
already tried more than five minutes, exclude this suggestion.

  - check that the AC adaptor is plugged in, in case the battery is
  failing to provide enough current to start things up,
 
 When I re-flash and first boot I always have AC plugged in case of a
 FW update or battery failure

Okay, the AC is plugged in, thanks.  I wasn't aware.

  What model XO-1.5 is it?
 
 I believe is a production machine (C2?)

Thanks.

   On first boot it froze about 4sec into the boot process, I think
   at loading mass storage devices or something relevant.
  
  I'm not familiar with that message.  Could you explain further from
  your memory of the event what else was present?
 
 On my first boot I start with the check mark pressed so I can see
 what's going on. So it was at the boot console.
 I can not recall the exact message. Was something about mass storage
 devices but not quite remember. 4.x sec into the boot process. 
 Did not look like the zero dot freeze because the camera light was
 not on. 

Thanks.  That rings no bells for me.

   On hard reboot (with power button for 5sec) ...
  
  I hope you didn't do this during a firmware reflashing.  That would
  be bad.
 
 No I didn't.
 Actually I was surprise that was no FW update. 
 My XO-1.5 had q3a39, but the latest is q3a41. Is os205 using q3a39?
 (ok, I can find that :) 

os205 includes q3a39.  It is sufficient for this issue.

 Should I be sending it back for diagnosis if everything else fails or
 just consider it random failure? 

Sounds like it ... just to clarify though, the current state of the
laptop is that it does not respond correctly when the power button is
pressed to turn it on?

backlight blinks for a split second but the screen stays dark.  The
power light comes on but not the processor and wifi lights.  No chime
earther.

Richard, what do you think?
