My laptop broke another corner. I just noticed that the little switch by the power switch that shuts off the LCD (it also sends ACPI events so that if I wanted to, I can make the laptop hibernate when I close the lid, since closing the lid presses it) broke off. I have no idea how that could have happened. The switch itself is well protected while the laptop is closed and I’m lugging it around. From a quick look, it appears broken off, rather than fallen off.

Oh, well. The good thing is I don’t care too much for that little switch. It has its uses, like when I want to shut off the LCD so that I can clean my screen better. But otherwise, it’s been something of a nuisance anyways.

Anyways. I have my eyes set on the goal—the laptop should last two years from now. Hopefully by then, I would have found a suitable replacement. One that is powerful enough, light enough, and can be run entirely by free software.
