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). |
|||
* 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]]. |
