Lid switches tests confusing

When testing the XO hardware, users are frequently tripping up on the lid switches test. Right now, the text on the screen says this: Testing /switches Activate lid switch This is where our users get stumped: "what is a lid switch?" If they work out that they need to close the lid, when

XO-4 teardown

Now that the XO-4 was featured at CES, is it ok to post teardown photos? Is anyone else planning to do this? Sameer ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Hi Christoph, Just to complete. I've got a problem 2 years ago with a camera on my XO. I've documented the problem and the solution (unstick it and replace it) in a blog post here: http://olpc-france.org/blog/2009/07/remplacer-la-camera-du-xo/ Hope it could help. Lionel.

XO-4 4B1 Q7B07 Reflashing to 31027o4 from the same USB stick works well on a XO-4 with 4 dots, but not on this one with 7 dots and a clear light guide. I get a short read of zdata file. Suggestions? Sameer ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org

Re: Cameras not working on XO-1s

Hi again, this may sound like a stupid question but how would one go about swapping out the camera modules? I couldn't find any instructions on the wiki on how to actually remove the motherboard from the chassis (probably one of the few things I have never done on an XO so far). That step seems n

Re: Solution for "Unimplemented package interface procedure" error on XO-1.5?

Hi everyone, apologies about the confusion wrt to my "it's easier comment". The main reason why I said that is because USB flash drives are popular and in short supply at the library and so I thought just doing a straight-forward copying on the laptop would be easier for me. Anyway, since I arriv

Hi, Another XO-4 only build for 13.1.0, as there have only been XO-4-related changes since build 27: http://download.laptop.org/xo-4/os/candidate/13.1.0-28/ This includes an accelerated graphics driver, thanks to Jon Nettleton. It should fix at least: #12084 Pretty boot interrupted by region of

Firmware upgrade not working on XO-4 B1

Hi, everyone I have an XO-4 B1 with os27, QB711 and ec 0.3.04. It won't upgrade the OFW, EC firmware or touchscreen firmware. I've connected a serial adapter and this is the output I get every time: CForth built 2013-01-08 03:12 from commit 7b9cfcf1... > Matrix mode on > releasing > *EC command

Re: Cameras not working on XO-1s

James, Gary, Wad, thanks a lot for all your input and the information. We now checked all the XOs which showed these camera problems and all the connections seem to have been fine. So I assume that what we're seeing is really the cable failure which Wad mentioned. Unfortunately my Internet connec
