An XO hospital is a basic repair center. It is a place where you can diagnose and repair XO's. This page outlines a model for the physical organization of the repair center with a list of the things you will need for the repair center.

[edit] Things you should have

[edit] Tools

• Screw drivers (a #1 Phillips at least, preferably magnetized)
• Tweezers (for extracting small screws which have a habit of winding up under things when you try to remove them from the XO)
• USB drives (these should have different builds, and activities)
• Pliers (for orienting the hinge)
• A working computer with internet preferably not an XO

[edit] Diagnostic Tools

• A working XO carcass so that you can swap in parts for testing
• Extra batteries
• Power cords
• A good-quality digital multimeter
• Headphones which can be plugged into the XO's audio output jack
• Microphone which can be plugged into the XO's audio input jack

[edit] XO Replacement Parts

• Screen
• Motherboard
• Keyboard
• ASL board (touchpad)
• Batteries
• Extra Plastic pieces
• Small motherboard Battery

[edit] Organizational

• Reasonably secure, relatively dust-free indoor work space if possible.
• Workbench, table and chairs
• Good work light
• Shelves
• Storage cabinet
• Plastic Bins, anti-static, if possible, or else good wooden ones. They are not likely to generate static.
