If you have a broken XO laptop and need to figure out what the problem is, start here. |
|||
* If your laptop doesn't provide you with the [[Sugar]] interface, or if you think the problem is with the physical machine rather than the software, you are looking for [[XO Troubleshooting Guide]] (Hardware Problem Diagnosis). |
|||
== Community Repair Centers == |
|||
* If the problem occurs when [[Sugar]] or an [[Activity]] is running, or you think the problem is in software, there is currently a lack of documentation, other than the [[Wifi Troubleshooting Guide]]. You might also want to check the [[XO Troubleshooting Guide]]. |

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.) |
|||
<!-- Start of right-column --> |

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. |
|||
|- |
|||
* 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. |
