I use my laptop exclusively on a daily basis, as I have no desktop pc. I use a laptop because my job is as a consultant where I must travel frequently. I have just begun my fourth year of owning my laptop. During the third year, the keyboard had to be replaced (control key problems) and the monitor began displaying a permanent line across the screen. Both of these problems where replaced under my warranty. However, now my warranty is out and they are both showing up again.
The question I have is – are keyboard and display problems common in laptops that are 3+ years old? The service guy (who was not an employee of the manufacturer) told me that keyboards frequently need replacing in laptops. Do you find these issues to be a common problem across all laptops? Or have you heard if it is common in certain brands?
Your input is greatly appreciated.
