Talk:Repair

== Repairs mailing list == Requesting a public mailing list for discussion about repair center infrastructures, and for communication/tip-swapping between different repair centers. The intended audience is people who are running or who want to run an XO repair center. Note that this will ''not'' be a place where people request repairs to be done on their laptops! We need 10 signatures to start this list, I believe - so sign on below. * [[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] * [[User:DyD|Ian Daniher]] * [[User:sholton|Steve Holton]] - volunteered as moderator * [[User:alc|Alan Claver]] * [[User:Culseg|Sandy Culver]] * [[User:Sj|SJ Klein]] * [[User:Holt|Holt]] * [[User:Sethwoodworth|Seth]] * [[User:ixo|Ixo x ixO]] * [[User:cbigenho|Caryl Bigenho]] == Repair tutorial wishlist == Please add to this! === Sticky Keys === * take off keyboard and reassemble without cleaning (worked for me) -- [[User:Davewa|Davewa]] 13:15, 29 May 2008 (EDT) * take off keyboard and clean under membrane with alcohol * new keyboard ([[Keyboard replacement|done]]) * USB keyboard ** if your keyboard has already failed, you can't use an external USB keyboard unless you disconnect the internal keyboard * replace with clicky keyboard [requires dremel/drilling holes] - find on instructables ** this keyboard doesn't provide AltGr (and several other XO keys) -- [[User:Davewa|Davewa]] 13:15, 29 May 2008 (EDT) === Touchpad === * rub chalk dust on touchpad to fix jumpy touchpad * replace board ([[Touchpad replacement|done]]) * USB mouse === Wireless === * replace wireless ears ([[Antenna replacement|done]]) === Screen === * replace light bar ([[Backlight replacement|done]]) ** where can these be found/bought? === Fun === * swapping XO man colors ([[Swapping XO Man Colors|done]]) == Perfecting/reorganizing repair sections == [[Repair/tmp]]
