Thanks Mitch and James! It's been a WHILE since I ran the self-test diagnostics and that was when I had an XO 1.0. A lot has changed since then. I just noticed the graphical test option. Is that new or maybe I just didn't notice it when I did my first run of self-test.<br>
<br>I did expect more info than I needed except for the lid switch test. I was utterly confused at first until my brain finally started functioning and put "lid" and "switch" together. The message didn't imply that I had to do something! :-D <br>
<br>I have a preproduction units but will be supporting a 100-pilot deployment in the Philippines (XO 1.5s production units). They needed a quick set-up and test guide. <br><br>Here's the serial number for my failing XO 1.5: <br>

</div>That's expected.<br>

(I use a magnet and wave it at the microphone then the camera. The<br>
magnet has to have poles aligned left and right, in the correct<br>
polarity. Alternatively you can do as you did, which is required in<br>
manufacturing tests, and move the laptop around yourself. This is the<br>
more correct way to do it, since it is also the worst configuration for<br>
cooling.)<br>

<br>
</div>It tests the heat spreader. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_spreader" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_spreader</a><br>
<br>
If you choose to run technical tests, you should not be surprised at<br>
being given more data than you can handle. ;-)<br>

<br>
</div>If this is a prototype preproduction laptop, then the failure is<br>
expected. Give me the serial number and I can check.<br>
<br>
If it is a production laptop, then this failure means that the heat<br>
spreader is not fully in contact with the processor. If you would like<br>
to investigate that, consider missing screws on the heat spreader anchor<br>
points, or bending damage.<br>

</div>This is a known problem with a preproduction prototype model. Give me<br>
the serial number and I can check. See<br>
<a href="http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9914" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9914</a> and<br>

<br>
Given that you have this problem and the heat spreader test failure, it<br>
is probably a B2 model you are using. Give me the serial number and I<br>
can check.<br>

<br>
</div>By the way, these instructions are for the XO-1, not for the XO-1.5. If<br>
you would like to update them for the XO-1, please do. I've marked the<br>
page dated.<br>
