I'm sure they would like to. Any idea on how they can get a copy for teardown? Ralph

Every OLPC unit shipped with a service manual on the machine. I bet they'd be cool with letting us post that information. Does someone want to contact them and ask?

I searched the olpc site a little bit and found a few interesting things ;-)

the repair category (with hundrets of pictures)

the troubleshooting guide (same link as in my posting - it's great - look at the repair procedures)

the hardware page of the XO (many good pcb pictures)

Hi, do you know the procedence of those xo on e-bay? The far as I know it can be stoled from one of our kids of the public school so if the system instaled on it is the that they use, that system HAS to connect to the servers in the school to "validate" so if the XO have not ben connected in a while is gonna be blocked.
