Spontaneous numlock
#74
So where is this chip located?  Is it part of the keyboard or the touchpad?  Neither is all that expensive to replace, and maybe get a chip without the 8-write limit.  Seems like each was under $20 but I'm not sure they're still available.

I probably wouldn't spend $20 to fix it because the problem isn't that bad.  I've never used the numlock anyway, and now I know I can turn it off with Print Screen or Pause (which I've also never used) I'm not bothered by it.  Some other keys are affected but I'm not sure what they do anyway.

Off topic but I'd love to see a Raspberry Pi 3B in a laptop case with the same battery and display.  Much lower power drain I think but adequate CPU power, especially if you utilize the GPU.  I have 4 of them now and a few Zeros.  A ZeroW with an external USB sound card only draws 1/4 amp from 5 volts.  And seems to play music just fine despite the single core CPU.  It would run 40 hours on the PBP battery.  Headless but you can ssh to them, or run nginx.  And recording on batteries avoids all hum, I used my PBP that way last summer, but it would only run about 6 hours.
