HI, I have a olpc computer and would like to give it as a gift. It is brand new as I have never taken it out of the box. Now I can't get it to turn on, the screen remains dark. What do i do?

perhaps this page should describe which builds / firmwares these codes apply to? Ywwg 20:59, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

"After firmware version" is ambiguous: does it include that version or only versions after that version. Suggest, instead, you say: "Firmware version xxx and higher." --Bob 15:14, 8 October 2007 (EDT)


Emulation

Is there any provision for using these cheat codes under an emulator? I'm using VirtualBox and I thought I'd try an auto-upgrade, but I'm not certain that I can do it with the emulated machine because A) there's no firmware, and B) there's no apparent way to send the game button key codes.

O button and boot-alt

I tried the "alternate image" boot on my new G1G1 laptop (it has 656 on it), and it refuses to boot at all. It apparently doesn't have a boot-alt directory anywhere on it, so it fails. I added some extreme weasel-words to the description. Hopefully someone who knows things can edit it later. --Riva 03:04, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
