Spare Motherboard?
It doesn't appear that there is such a thing as a spare motherboard. So how is the XO fully repairable? Harriska2
- Some deployments have extra (often) broken laptops on hand for spare parts (including motherboards). They're fully repairable if you have mobos; mobos just aren't sold alone. (I wish they were, but I believe there are some legal/IP/business reasons why they aren't - not too clear on the details though). Mchua 02:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks. I ask because it would be feasible to create XO machines but the motherboard is the one that has all the guts on it....Harriska2 14:11, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
