: too?

latch broke 18 months ago.

: i assume you had the case closed whilst compiling?

Yes.  I had the lid closed while compiling.  I also had my LaTeX
manual on top of the lid.  I don't know if that was a contributory
cause or not, but it sure is messed up.

A new keyboard for the thing is like US$50.00, which isn't so bad.  I
may end up replacing it.  It still seems to run Ok, but I've not had
it on much since it melted, as you may understand.
