I'm a bit interested. I haven't been able to make any of mine fail,
and I've a collection of about twelve so far, accumulated over ten
years.
I've always found my problems to be either:

Good to hear.
USB flash drives can be unreliable. There are so many things that can
go wrong.

I wore out a USB drive, just by downloading new versions of XO-1.0 software
to try. (Kingston, 2GB)
copy-nand complained. I forget the exact error message, but it was obvious

Thanks again James.
The md5sum was OK so I reformatted the USB stick and tried again - and no

G'day David,
The CPU temperature of 54 celcius is a bit on the high side. Please

temperature can rise too much during installation. If the temperature
is too high, the
Wad/Richard,
We have 37 dead white wall chargers that came with XO 1.5 for one of
the schools in Jamaica. Any interest in getting any samples or batch
numbers before we throw these out?
cheers,

Thank you for the info!
Yeah the ../docs/... was a typo... I was looking inside ../doc/
