The laptop gods smiled upon me, with the return of mine from repair. It
happened in a reasonable amount of time after I approved the charge
(lets call it half the price of the laptop - AAAAAAAH). Their customer
service is always very good. This event sours me on Sys76. The unit
lives in a 20' line from home office to couch. How does this happen?
A hinge broke, taking out the display. As a result, the display and all
the plastic parts had to be replaced. It arrived in as-new condition.
The real shocker is that after I put back the hard drives, it worked
just fine. This kind of thing doesn't happen to me. Ok, the audio isn't
working, but that's Ubuntu. And as I type this, the keyboard stopped
functioning and required a reboot (worked fine yesterday). The universe
has a strange sense of humor. It is great to go back to a 17 from a 13.
Now I need to start thinking about a reliable 17" (used) backup unit.
Everybody says Thinkpad is highly compatible. While I'm researching,
does anybody have any suggestions? No Celerons or Chromebooks :)
Thanks
