    My F3Jp had developed a small crack in the plastic at the bottom right part of the keyboard. The right click touchpad button seems to not pick up being pressed on sometimes now too. Is this enough to send it in for warranty repair?

    Didn't I see this mentioned twice already? Just look for "keyboard crack" or something along those lines. I remember two people with the exact same problem. Looks like a design fault for this model...

    If it is a design problem then it should be enough for warranty repair.

    Here's the link to the thread EBE is talking about, with at least 2 posters with photos. Indeed strange that there is so much similarity.

    Correction, three persons have reported the exact same thing. It's clearly a design problem.

    E.B.E., just for fun, but when I read this thread I smilled.

    Crusher16: nothing to do with your problem or that I'm glad it happened. You can better understand my comment if you read this thread.

    Yeah.... when I read this thread I was sad, actually. :(

    Warranty should cover it as long as you clearly make the case that this is a design fault, perhaps with links on this forum to other people reporting the problem.
