If you have a broken XO and need to figure out what the problem is, start here. |
|||
* If your laptop won't get to the point where [[Sugar]] boots, or if you think the problem is with the physical machine rather than the software, see [[Hardware diagnosis]]. |
|||
A community effort is underway to figure out an infrastructure for grassroots-run repair centers (because OLPC does not have the time or resources to manage thousands of repair centers on their own, and we're all about local collaboration and empowerment around here). See [[Repair centers]] for more information, including how to help. (The [[Disassembly]] page provides many photos summarizing the challenging process of safely taking apart your XO laptop.) |
|||
* If the problem occurs when [[Sugar]] or an [[Activity]] is running, or you think the problem is in software, see [[Software diagnosis]]. |

A list of interested groups that want to form repair centers is [[Repair center locations|listed here]]. '''The repair center program has not started yet!''' There isn't yet a worked-out way to get parts out easily to grassroots groups. However, while waiting for a supply-chain solution to emerge, plenty of other planning, collaboration, and resource creation is going on in the meantime. Grassroots organizers or Community Repair Centers are strongly encouraged to list their groups on that page and discuss their plans and share their successes on the [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots grassroots mailing list]. |

* Assist with the [[Repair centers]] effort - information on how to help with that specific effort is posted on their page. |
|||
{| width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#fff" |
|||
* Fix laptops in your area, and document the fixes on this wiki in the [[Repairs cookbook]]. Make tutorials and walkthroughs on how to replace damaged parts, what you can substitute for a lost charger, and whatever things you might encounter. |
|||
! |
|||
* If you have time to devote towards this, join [[Support gang]] and help field calls and emails from people who have no local repair options. |
|||
* Email < holt AT laptop DOT org > your phone number, to discuss your plans! Include a basic outline of your repair center proposal, and which business model(s) and/or volunteering model(s) you are considering towards sustainability. Be sure to include all the best times of the week when you want OLPC to call you back. OLPC will support all reasonable plans/suggestions, as long as they are thought out. |
|||
* Grassroots organizers of Community Repair Centers are strongly encouraged to discuss their plans and share their successes on the [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/repairs repairs mailing list] and [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots grassroots mailing list]. |
|||
* Share your ideas and thoughts on repair on the [[Talk:Repair|talk page]]. |

Do you want to find a community repair center near you with tools and volunteers dedicated to fixing XOs? Do you want to send your laptop to a repair center for fixing? Do you want to start a repair center of your own? |
|||
* Learn more about [[Repair centers]] and how they operate. |
|||
If you're comfortable with a screwdriver, there are a number of repairs that you can do at home. If you're interested in starting a repair center, you can find more information at [[Repair centers]]. |
|||
* Find a community repair center near you using the [[Directory of repair centers]]. Some repair centers will also allow you to mail your laptop to them. |
|||

For folks who just can't wait and don't have a way of fixing things community-style, some suggestions are below. Note that this list (and indeed, this entire wiki page) is a community generated resource with ''suggestions,'' and inclusion of businesses on this list does not mean that they are partnered with, endorsed by, or otherwise have any kind of relationship with OLPC. |
