Cambridge repair center
Contents |
This project is in pre-alpha and still under development. It has not completely launched yet and many details are still being worked out, so information on this page is subject to rapid change. Keep this in mind as you read.
Introduction
This is a Repair center beta test run by Mel Chua. This repair center is operating out of 1cc (in the evenings, during Mel's "copious amounts" of spare time) until June 17. The goal of the Cambridge Repair Center is not to produce the highest number of XOs fixed, but to produce high-quality Repair Center related documentation and tools as part of the repair process.
Goals
- to serve as a pilot repair center, testing new ideas for other repair centers
- to create useful documentation on XO repairs
- to help with the development of a Field Repair Guide
- to help repair laptops for 1CC
- to give Mel a chance to play with hardware for a while
- to have fun
Tools
Tools we have
- a Leatherman
We realize this is a very small toolset. It's going to be an interesting challenge seeing what repairs can be made with a very minimalist toolset... since schools in rural Peru are unlikely to have a full matsci/electronics lab at their disposal.
