Using the video http://dotsub.com/view/316bb6f4-0ec7-4da8-b2fa-0640bdf641c4 , a new $18 keyboard, and about 1 hour, I finally repaired the XO keyboard my son shredded.

It is a bit tricky, but definitely doable. The hardest part, believe it or not, was keeping the strong magnet in the XO from sucking up the tiny screw near it.

Looks easy to do, but anyone learn how to beef up the processor with an Intel Atom? LOL!

That is the upgrade I would wish the XO had, so it would be as powerful as my low speed desktop!
