Just a few days ago, a few critical keys on the keyboard of my laptop began to not function, or function erratically. It is amazing that 3 keys --- Backspace, Enter, and Spacebar, are so critical to overall functionality. I placed a call to the manufactor's Technical Support, and they assured me that a replacement keyboard would be ordered and available in just a few days. FYI -- warrantee coverage took care of the whole matter.
The technician arrived early this afternoon and replaced the keyboard in a timely manner. However, in order to do so, he more or less had to disassemble most of the laptop to get to the keyboard area. I'm sure he removed at least 60 or more screws, many of which of which appeared to me microscopic. Of course all components need to be held in place, but it struck me very odd that such a critical technological devise would have so many SCREWS!
My vision turned to the do it yourself assembly packages that we all have addressed. Can you see the inventory packing list for a laptop: 1 hard drive, 1 monitor screen, 1 integration board, 1 shell casing, 1 keyboard, 1 power cord, and oh yes, 60 million-zillion screws.
