Diagnosis 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. If the problem occurs when Sugar or an Activity is running, or you think the problem is in software, see Software diagnosis.

Support A number of volunteer-run support efforts are available. Send mail to help@laptop.org Join the Support gang crew of volunteers Visit the live help chat, staffed by volunteers Peruse known bugs

G1G1 Repair centers 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? If you received your laptop through your school, your school will usually have a different repair system in place. Use it! Learn more about community Repair centers and how they operate. 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. If you want to start a repair center of your own, see the How to start a repair center guide.

Disassembly If you know what part is broken and just need to learn how to take your XO apart to get to it, check out the Disassembly tutorials.
