    No. Shit. But it happened because it was a natural. Sony was going for a slick look. So it made sense to make a deal with Bond.

    Bond has taken a turn for the lame with a female actor. So maybe it will be apple this time. Considering Sony got out of the laptop business

    Do you ever consider how utterly idiotic you come across?

    Well , all of a sudden , the keyboard stopped working on my Acer Aspire F-5. I obviously rebooted it. I checked some trouble shooting shit like updating the keyboard driver. Just did that. It says the driver is up to date.

    There's a reset button on the bottom side. I pressed that for the first time. Still no keyboard

    If we need to upgrade, purchase and installation advice, it’s best to borrow an 8 year old boy. Let them do it all.

    I used to have windows machinery, until I was given a second hand iPad about five years ago. Didn’t take long to adjust to the new OS. I then got a bargain second hand MacBook Pro, and a second hand iPhone 6. It was useful for lazy technophobes like me, simply because they talk to each other and interchange fairly seamlessly.

    The only real problem I had with these products was discovering that the MacBook Pro did not like brandy as much as I did! Keyboard and HDD fried.

    I have since purchased new versions of the iPad, and a new MacBook Air to replace the pro. My second hand iPhone 10 works just fine. I know that Apple is less than up front with its marketing and built in obsolescence, but for me, they are just fine.

    The old MacBook Pro was great, if a little heavy, but it was far more capable than I would ever need. The replacement MacBook Air still exceeds my capacity, but it’s much more portable and lightweight.

    Talk of overheating in gaming capable machines, is just reward for those who choose to live outside the real world.

    or if Windows OS, there is an onscreen keyboard option. Uses the mouse/touch pad:

    4 years before a major problem happens and it has to be replaced. The last one was a $1000 Sony Vieo. The thing was slick machine. It was like James Bonds laptop. But the hinges went to shit. The plastic around the hinge started a small crack. I lubed up the hinges with silicon spray. Then epoxied it. But nothing helped. And I just had to watch my laptop go to shit.

    This latest Acer Aspire F-5 with the stainless steel look, is coming up on 4 years. It still seems ok. But the hinges don't feel right anymore. So I am gonna lube them. I bet these hinges are a sealed unit and lubing probably doesn't help. Whatever

    I always wanted to be one of those guys with an 8-10 year old laptop. But it will probably never happen.
    And... its over. The Acer F-5 is dead. It lasted 6 years. The screen went black again and it never came back on. I took it to the computer repair guy and he tried everything and could not revive it.

    I got another Acer from a friend that was broken. I brought that in too. He managed to fix this one. It had a broken hard drive. So now I am gonna run this till it dies. I'll probably buy another Acer when the time comes. It lived the longest. So why not.

    ^ He's special, that's for sure. Fancy replacing the laptop because of a hard drive failure. Just replace it and carry on.
    There was a time when laptop HDs were on an antivib mount but that went years ago to reduce cost. I usually go through 2 or 3 in the lifetime of a laptop...or did before ssd came out.

    Sugar ants nesting on the motherboard has happened to me more than once. Windows is the biggest killer of hardware.
