Just for future reference, the OLPC team are actively updating the
official FAQ page on a daily basis:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Support_FAQ
You can get the latest, workable solutions there. :)

Performing olpc-update 653 should not do harm to the previously
installed image (i.e. build 650). Power up the machine by holding down
the O key of the game pad (locate it under the right speaker). This
should bring you back to build 650.

I am not sure about this. Could someone on the forum/mailing list
answer this question? :)

Thanks a lot!
