Yes, this is my point. You have long, long exceeded the expected lifespan
of the device. This is not mil-spec.

That may be true, but this board works perfectly fine now. It
has years of useful life left in it, and perhaps even more. Even if
all the plastic keyboard posts fail, a replacement keyboard could
probably be found on Ebay. And these are still in demand on Ebay.

I don't buy into the "buy a new one", disposable consumer
mentality that the corporations encourage.
