    Is it worth to spend 100? to fix my Acer Aspire 5920G?

    I've got some problems with my Acer Aspire 5920G:

    1) The adapter was faulty when I got it, and I had to stretch the cable in order to work, and now it is destroyed. I need to get a new adapter.

    2) 4 keys popped off after some hard use. I tried to get them back in place, but it is more difficult to press them now. They are the Ctrl, Space, and two arrow keys. I'm having a hard time typing or gaming, so I need a new keyboard.

    3) The laptop is overheating lately. While doing some light gaming (without much action and low graphics), the CPU reaches 60°C and the GPU 77°C. I've decided to buy a notebook stand, which will get some space for the air vents, and also free some space for the subwoofer to sound more.

    I decided to buy a new Acer adapter at first, but I found a much cheaper adapter not from Acer which says it has options to fit with all notebooks. Should I trust it?

    All these things are going to cost me 100€. Do you think I should buy them? I've heard that G84M and G86M chips die at about 1 year. I have an 8600M GS and it overheats a lot lately. It's difficult to afford a new computer, but do you think this is a better option?
