My question is what is the computer used for?  Are you using it
for your Linux from scratch project?

Well.... what happened is I was using my laptop as my main computer
(which I have since learned is BAD); I was running everything through
it. Then the card reader didn't work. No problem, I rarely use that
feature anyways and I got a USB Multicard Reader/Writer. Then certain
keys started not working (and things were progressively getting
worse). No problem, I got a USB keyboard/mouse. Then when I was at
the airport to go to FL I found the internet switch didn't work. Time
to take it to a repair shop. Well, I can still use it for finances
until I get it to a shop when I return from Surfside. Then the fan
wasn't working. Then I got back from FL and took the computer to a
repair shop.... SO I then took my Linux from Scratch computer and
turned it into my central computer. This means I'll have to get
another computer for Linux from Scratch and start all over with LFS. I
told the lady at the repair shop about the fan, the dropping keys, and
the internet switch (forgot about the reader). She got back to me
yesterday and said that the fan was working just fine and that the
keyboard needed to be replaced. I inquired about the internet switch
and she said it was a part of the keyboard. I'm now thinking that the
card reader is a part of the keyboard too but I don't know.
