Bung XO-1 battery
Ad
Hey, I have a XO-1 with battery that has gone bad, it looks like the 1-wire system in it has become confused. The laptop (including batman) just say "No battery", but it'll happily run off it. An XO-1.75B1 doesn't recognise the battery either. Interestingly, the XO-1 doesn't see the battery out of the XO-1.75 either. Anyone else seen this? I seems like it is possible the 1-wire chip has become confused and is now in high-speed mode when it should be low-speed. Anyone have experience in changing the setting? Cheers!
Hi Andrew We can help you out with a battery if you want another one. We have a few dead laptops with good (but used) batteries. Otherwise, two places to order new batteries - http://ilovemyxo.wordpress.com/ and store.laptop.org.au (I have a log in to AU site if you want to order from them).

Hi Tabitha,
A spare battery would be great thank you. If it turns out to not hold a
charge, then I could buy one. It is also possible the that XO-1 battery
I have is dud after sitting unused for the past 4ish years.

Hi Andrew - are you still @ catalyst? Alastair mentioned he has some XOs, and he's about to leave the country. Could you perhaps speak to him and take care of them for us for a while?On 20 June 2012 09:01, Andrew Ruthven wrote: > Hi Tabitha, > > A spare battery would be great thank you.

But I won't be able to make the Saturday morning testing sessions if they're still running at the Southern Cross.

if you can test apps with them, then you're awesome.
If not, you're still awesome, but i'll find some way to retrieve them
eventually and send them to the active Auckland team.

Cheers!
Hey,
With the help of James Cameron via IRC I've managed to get the XO-1 that
wasn't recognising batteries to see them again. But it seems that the
busted battery is toast.
If you guys have a spare battery I could have, that'd be fantastic.
