[WTA] how much to replace compaq keypad?

basically, i wouldnt say it's the manufacturer's fault...because when i bought it, the base of my laptop's keypad is perfect. i usually use the leather cloth provided to wipe my laptop, the keypad, etc. just recently i realised the black finishing of the base below the keypad, has peeled of and is now silver.

hp shop said i've to send it to hp for a week. i'll only do it when i'm free...1 week is so long! sales guy also said they're not sure if it's covered by warranty...so does anyone know how much it is to change the whole keypad?

first of all, the base of the keypad shouldnt even be peeling to silver. what quality

SWITCHING to A levels

guys,

the reason i'm considering my switch, is because i'm not performing in my SAM internal tests. i've never been one who performs well in school monthly tests, it's always at trials and finals that i climb up. slowly, all my bad internal marks will accumulate, and affect my overall TER at the end.

A levels, well, would give me more time to study and get a better grasp of my humanities subjects. the decision is mine alone, but i'd be nice to get some feedback. my lecturer showed me charts the other day...of her ex students. the top students with high TER's were constantly good in their assessments. is it even possible for one to score well later after almost failing 2 tests (for 2 subjects) within this 3 months alone?

SAM has it's perks too. i love the presentations, discussions, etc. it's just the monthly tests i cant keep up with.

*edit
im just really concerned about my TER. need to meet uni's high requirements.

A levels or sam?

Not considering the fees, not considering the duration....

I'm only interested in how the syllabus will affect my future for now. Possible degree courses :

-architecture
-law
-econs
-business
-social sciences
-accounting/actuarial
-etc

Well, since sam is coursework based....is the math i learn enough to prepare for my architecture degree? Maths is a prerequisite. Whichever course i take, my subjects will be econs, math, law, acc. And if i major in econs, is sam's syllabus good enough?
