For folks who just can't wait and don't have a way of fixing things community-style, some suggestions are below. Note that this list (and indeed, this entire wiki page) is a community generated resource with ''suggestions,'' and inclusion of businesses on this list does not mean that they are partnered with, endorsed by, or otherwise have any kind of relationship with OLPC.

Diagnosis

If you have a broken XO laptop and need to figure out what the problem is, start here.


Support

Give1Get1 owners can find in-warranty and post-warranty support options on the Give1Get1 Support Page.

A number of volunteer-run support efforts are available.

Give1Get1 Repair Centers

Do you want to find a community repair center near you with tools and volunteers dedicated to fixing XOs? Do you want to send your laptop to a repair center for fixing? Do you want to start a repair center of your own?

If you received your laptop through your school, your school will usually have a different repair system in place. Use it!


Disassembly and Spare parts

If you know what part is broken and just need to learn how to take your XO apart to get to it, check out the excellent Disassembly tutorials.

The most commonly done and easiest disassembly-based repairs can be found in Simple repairs.

If you need spare parts to replace broken parts in your XO, see Spare parts for the current progress in making these parts available to the community.

A Repair Parts list is under development for Do It Yourself repairs. Help us find sources and alternatives!
