Here is a summary of the answer i recently received from Framework support:
- It’s ‘quite difficult to answer ... .’
- If you injure one screw hole, then ‘there's at least a 10% chance that the laptop will not be useable ... .’
- ‘if you dismantle the keyboard from the input cover and unscrew the keyboard membrane - then there is a high chance that random[ly] several keys might stop working[,] ... and [a moderate chance that] 80% to 90% of the keyboard keys might stop working ... .’
- ‘alternatively, you can still use an external USB keyboard/mouse.’ (But that’s burdensome to me.)
- Or you can install a new Input Cover, containing a new keyboard.
If i make a mistake, such as stripping a screw-hole, is it likely that my pc won’t work at all?, till i obtain & install a new Input Cover (which contains a new keyboard). Thanks in advance for any comments.
