The repair center is temporarilly closed. New requests will not be handled until it reopens.
Introduction
OLPC DC Repair is a repair center run by three students near Washington DC, later to be integrated into Arlington, VA's Career Center facility and programs. We usually operate via mail, although those in the Washington Metro Area are more than welcome to deliver their XOs in person. In addition to laptop repair, we also provide replacement chargers, batteries, and more.
We've been operating since mid-2008, and are continuing to provide services to the OLPC community.
