I don't know.  I expect Martin will know.  The serial number range you
reported is ISO week 19 of 2010.  I don't have the affected serial
number range for the XO-1.5 WLAN ESD problem.  I do have part of the
range identified, but not the full range.  That's why you should wait
for Martin to respond.

Given the production dates of those laptops, that is almost
certainly the problem.

Swapping out the WLAN card will fix it.

 Possibly related to this, we have at least 20x XO-1.5s that have
 completely dead WLAN. The OpenFirmware wireless test fails
 immediately.

In what way does the test fail?

What version of OpenFirmware was used to test with?

 The serial numbers are:

Make sure you talk to Martin about this.  devel@lists.laptop.org tends
to be focused on development discussions rather than deployment support.

Trying with two that I have here, I get the same error:

  SHDCI: Error: ISR = 8000 ESR = 1 Command Timeout
  Stopping
  Selftest failed due to abort

The firmware was:

  Q3A50
  A3A36

After upgrading the Q3A50 one to Q3A62, I get slightly different
output from the WLAN test:

  SDHCI: Error: ISR = 8000 ESR = 1 Command Timeout,
  Command reg: 50a Mode reg: 0 Arg reg: 0
  Recent commands (decimal): 0 5
  Stopping
  Selftest failed due to abort

Sure, will do.

Thanks.  The wireless card did not respond to commands.  Normally a card
will respond to commands.

Speculation as to cause: (a) open circuit, (b) short circuit, (c)
damaged card, (d) damaged host.  It would require further analysis
by Martin.
