Comment(by sierrahombre):

 (response to cscott, thx)

 a) I don't have a developer key

 b) had 650 -> now 653 via olpc-update

 c) I tried to upgrade the firmware because this link said that the upgrade
 had a critical bug fix - and a possible brick if the RTC was set to 0
 somehow

 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware

 d) I followed the instructions and noticed that after unzipping the olpc-
 auto.zip the firmware didn't match the one specified in the wiki

 e) I wanted to see what the capabilities of OFW because it sounded pretty
 cool, and saw instructions that said to hold down the "X" ; but it just
 didn't work for me and I didn't want to take the XO appart if I didn't
 have to so I thought someone should know
