OQO Model 2s motherboard failing?

This is a report coming from Endgadget. Apparently there are some users, reporting failures in the Motherboard. This is a real bad news for current OQO owners because if the rumors of this company problems are real probably there wont be any solution available to them.

…and now we’re hearing that main board failures on Model 2s that have shipped are distressingly common. That’s at least the word according to the OQOtalk forum, whose members are currently gathering data on the situation — and the early trends sadly reveal that the 1.6GHz model is extremely prone to failure. Of course, it’s not exactly the most scientific poll in the world, but you wouldn’t expect such harsh results from users on a fansite unless something was up. Given OQO’s current travails, we don’t know if this will ever get resolved, but let’s hope so.

      From what I hear, the rumors are true. One of the deans here at the university has an OQO still under warranty. When he called for service they told him it was a no go.
