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.

While some of these modifications are provided by OLPC, their use is not endorsed by OLPC. They are provided in the spirit of exploring the laptop hardware. Please remember that trying them is likely to damage your laptop.

Even Earlier XO-1 Models

Modification to XO-1.5 Production Models
