I've got a 1405 (I think Tom has a couple, too) whose keyboard sometimes
doesn't deliver capitals when I use the left shift key. It's still got
three more years of warranty, so I can get a new one for free, but, I was
just curious...are the keyboards that much cheaper from a third party
than from Dell?

Thanks.
