The locker tabs of the CF slot can easily be fixed with some epoxic plastiline and a flat screwdriver, and some black paint if you care for cosmetics. if you want more directions on how to do it PM or e-mail me.
About the keyboard thing, it can be easily replaced, just:
a
) buy another keyboard
b
) remove the 3 screws closer to the J's front
(the ones marked with arrows
)
c
) lift the keybd with a flat screwdriver
d
) loosen the ribbon connector
e
) snap the new one following the same procedure in reverse order
(the only step that should not be reversed is: "a
) buy another keyboard"
.
To prevent further liquid spill to you're H/PC, i suggest you to buy the Image911 keyboard skins and repeat 1000 times: "Jornadas don't like swimming"
There´s no need to throw your H/PC away because of such a simple couple of flaws, besides, if you convert to a PPC-only user
, you'll be tagged as "Heretic" and banned from the H/PC paradise, also, you'll be held responsible and possibly sued for moral & mental damages by C:Amie
(for he'll have many nightmares about PPC's dominating the world
)
