A photo of a small portion of the display on a Micron TransPort Trek 2 laptop is visible here.

What can cause a font to be rendered so badly?

Several of the keys on the keyboard don't work. No problems when an external keyboard is used. A photo of the back of the keyboard is here.

It is peppered with about 50 tiny screws, heads of three of which are visible in the photo.

Is any repair of such a keyboard feasible?

Thanks for any replies, ... Peter E., peasthope at shaw dot ca
