Here's the situation:
I have an HP Envy laptop. I like this line of laptops, and have had a few in a row. Unfortunately, they seem to have keyboard issues. Every one of them I've owned has eventually had multiple keys on the keyboard start failing (usually within days of each other, and usually close together).
In the past, I was fortunate enough to be under warranty when this happened -- sometimes an extended warranty which I got from some previous fail on their part. An older laptop actually had an easily replaceable keyboard, but those days are long gone.
Now I'm not under any kind of warranty. This laptop was bought 3 years ago. I had it completely replaced in April 2022, when it was having keyboard issues plus some other problems. It was under warranty then, but not now.
Other than the keyboard, it works perfectly. Still fast, screen looks great, basically no other problems except the fan coming on every so often when the CPU is working hard.
To me this looks like a keyboard failure at the motherboard level, and I'm probably fucked... but at the same time, it feels weird to dump a completely good laptop just because of a fucking keyboard. I can use an external one in the meantime, but that's not a solution I want anything beyond short term.
If I do buy a new one, I suppose this laptop can serve as a backup, but I'd really prefer to get some more life out of this one.
