Which is a standard step to overcome OS problems... BUT NOT a standard step to fix a mechanical problem.
In fairness to Evesham, it's not quite as daft as that.
Once the volume wheel had come unsoldered from motherboard, and was hanging about inside the case, I did start seeing random crashes and other weird behaviour. I was thinking that it was just because something had left loose contacts on the board which were fritzing and generally acting mad.
I did put a written description of the problems in with my laptop, including this, so they may have decided to do all this as a precautionary measure. Can't blame them for thoroughness, really.
Anything about the Case that let's you know it's your original?
Yup, it is. The stickers are all peeling off in the same way, and there's a couple of scratches I recognise. Oh, and it's got my name and address on it, too :)
