<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi…<div><br></div><div>I was going to reflash and update an XO that is supposed to be checked out to someone in the Dallas area. The software was pretty old so I wanted to get it up-to-date before sending it out. </div><div><br></div><div>I prepared a usb drive, checked it on my original G1G1 XO-1, inserted it into the other computer and… it told me to power off with the power button.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Then I noticed… three dots! Oh, oh… it is an <i><u>XO-1.5</u></i>. I had tried to reflash with XO-1 build. When I did that, it tried to read it and gave me the message to power off. </div></div><div><br></div><div><div>I went back and downloaded the 13.2.0 for an XO-1.5, put it in and tried to start the reflash process. Nothing! Power light goes on but it doesn't try to proceed beyond that.</div></div><div><br></div><div><font size="3">It had started up with an older build before this … maybe I should have left well-enough alone. Anyway, now the power light goes on but it doesn't try to boot at all</font>…<font size="3"> with or without the usb reflash drive.</font></div><div><br></div><div>I went to the troubleshooting guide and did the "resetting the embedded controller" procedure (<font size="3"><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Full_Reset">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Full_Reset</a></font>) No problems there.</div><div><br></div><div>Then I tried to turn it on. The instructions say to watch for the microphone led… I don't know where it is, but no small lights flashed. However, after a couple of tries I noticed a very brief flash of the screen… so quick and incomplete that I probably missed it several times before noticing it. </div><div><br></div><div>There is no boot sound. I think the real time clock battery is OK as the times were fine when I turned it on a couple of weeks ago. </div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas about what I should try next???</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. Please forward to anyone you think may know how to fix this.</div> </div></body> </html>
