RIP. Don, I faced the same situation with my ThinkPad a few months ago. I decided that since IBM/Lenovo doesn't [yet] offer an Athlon64/M ThinkPad, I had the backlight repaired and the keyboard replaced. Unless there's a new toy you REALLY lust after, I'd recommend fixing what you have. -- Robert G.
