Hey guys, Just a heads-up. My thinkpad's keyboard is acting up, so I'm sending it in for repairs. I haven't been able to use it properly for some time (I can't even properly login because some keys output multiple letters 80% of the time, like the ones used in my password).
I had similar problems with my laptop recently. This thing is way outta warranty (4.5 years old) but it's still a solid reliable machine. A friend of mine gave me the disassembly guide a few months ago, so i bought the parts for cheap from an Acer service center and did it myself. New keyboard, some new plastic case, and i'm going to upgrade from Intel minipci b -> g wireless eventually (when I get a new job...sacked yesterday). Bigger HDD eventually too. And getting new battery off a friend. The keyboard is really simple to replace on mine, and others I've seen, (just 2 screws and 2 latches), so that's always worth a shot if it's outta warranty. James
