Does it also happen if you avoid updating packages? (The update you did applied a new kernel and several other interesting things that are on the forefront of development, not part of 11.2.0, so my guess is you found a bug.) Given that you can get to a root console from the white screen, there's

Ran into a bit of a pickle after an update attempt. I flashed os874.img fresh on an XO-1, got into Sugar, connected to my wifi. All good at that point. I tried this three times and when I tried to boot back up into Sugar, I got a blank screen. I can get to a root console from the white screen a

Thanks Samuel. I'll be talking in more depth with OLPCA about this. Any suggestions on how to deal with this in the meanwhile are welcome :) I have found that it can help to bend the spreader near the screw points to make it slightly concave. However, I agree with you that this is not a good reco

The "unused" hole actually is filled by one of the screws which holds in the rear plastic panel. That's why the screw holes which only secure the heat spreader have arrows pointed at them. The fanciest (newest?) XO-1.5 heat spreader design I've seen adds a support bar up to the green screw hole a

Do your heat spreaders have four screws or three ? The final heat spreader for XO-1.5 production had four screws holding it down, to ensure a good fit.If your heat spreaders only have three, OLPCA should be able to get proper replacements from Quanta. Regards, wad On Jul 22, 2011, at 10:35

We are currently engaged in changing the motherboards in over a hundred XO-1.5s. In many cases, the XOs are failing the heat spreader test afterwards. However, we can get the test to pass if we press down on the lid, behind the screen. This suggests to me that the heat spreader is not in proper co
