[Sugar-devel] XO4 touch stopped working (SOLVED)

[James Cameron]

We are aware of a manufacturing process problem that caused what you
observed, but it was fixed some time ago.  We know exactly when it was
fixed.  When you give us the serial number, I can check if the laptop
was made before the fix or after.

The change you've made sounds reasonable, but it may not last.  Keep
monitoring the situation.

p.s. use the devel at lists.laptop.org mailing list for posts related to
XO-4 and unrelated to Sugar.  I've intentionally retained all of
thread below.
