He does HP, Dell, factory work via Best Buy and Future Shop. Certainly, if anyone can do it Mam can. It's not that I *can't* fix the LCD, it's just that it's simply not worth me either spending the hour to do it properly, *and* fix the keyboard issue (parts & time), vs simply taking the opportunity to upgrade the machine. Hello Lewis: I think you mean "replace" rather than "upgrade." :-> The problem is that the perversion of the cost structure in both national and international commerce distorts the value of repairing versus replacing. But, he/she who ignores the monetary cost is bound to be unable to compete. So, the only realistic way for most of us is to leave a trail of electronic units and parts behind us, although I realize that you certainly don't waste resources compared to the WinTel model. HTDATM, - Mark (HTDATM = hope this doesn't annoy too much...) Mark Henigan -- There are several nice off-lease 15" T43's now on eBay for rather good prices. (Even T60 machines are available on the cheap right now, though T61's are a bit more.) I'll keep the info for your neighbor on hand, though. Thanks for the mention. ;-) Cheers/2 <snip>
