Hardware modification

This page contains information about modifications to the XO hardware. These either fix a problem/shortcoming with particular implementations (or "builds") of the laptop, or extend its capabilities in particular ways.

Modification to Production Models

This page welcomes contributions from the community at large.

• Increasing the SDRAM memory
• Increasing the maximum USB power
• Improving D-Pad (Directional Arrow Pad) control

Modification of Pre-production Models

There were several thousand B4 version ("build") laptops built and distributed to developers and trials around the world. These machines (and their close cousins, the B3 and C1 builds distributed only to developers) are functionally equivalent to the production machines...except for a few minor tweaks which can make a huge difference.

• Modifying a B4/C1 to improve the suspend/resume performance

Even Earlier Models

• The B2 build can easily be modified to support suspend/resume
