And the Thinkpad has some damaged keys I live with.
Have you tried searching eBay for either replacement keytops or keyboard? They are readily replaced. I've had good success doing this for my Thinkpads.
The IBM/Lenovo support for Thinkpads has traditionally been excellent. If a system is under warranty then you get such things fixed with no questions asked. If you lose the receipt then you still get warranty support if the time that has elapsed since the system left the factory is less than the warranty period. Also you can purchase additional "support" for a Thinkpad which gives free fixes for everything. But nowadays it's hardly worth doing. I recently bought a new Thinkpad on Grays for $300 because I needed a new PSU and battery which would have cost about $200. So given a choice of a new battery and PSU for $200 or an entire new system for $300 a new system was the better choice. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with K-9 Mail.
