-plugging an external keyboard makes the computer not to be a laptop/portable -you may not own a USB keyboard , you need to buy one and hopefully you have enough ports free or yo will need to buy an USB hub too -having the device repaired will take a while if you are not into a big city, it won't be fun without your computer, so it is a big deal that the keyboards is shitty and sometimes the replacement one breaks too. -I hope they will fix the keyboard if it breaks exactly when your warranty expired, otherwise because of on ekey you will have to buy for all the parts that are glued with the keyboard.
