Troubleshooting
- 2009-09-03
Battery stopped working, but the XO still functions on AC adapter. - 2010-01-07
Battery springs back to life of its own accord. I have no idea why. - 2010-03-25
Battery again stops working. Since the XO has been unplugged and unused for the last three weeks, it's possible that the battery has discharged to the point that the XO cannot recognize its presence. Leaving the XO on and plugged in seems to have cured the battery detection problem, but the underlying cause remains unconfirmed.
