These are nice machines, but had some problems. I think this is a common
problem. And yes, none of the vias are plated on the several TP560 models
I have owned.

My 560 failed in the same way, about a year and a half after I bought it
(new, years ago). It was a wonderful little machine while it lasted.

I seem to remember that the hinge for the display basically sat on the
motherboard, using it something like a washer between the case and the
hinge bracket. I don't know if that was really a problem, but it always
seemed like the motherboard (near the power supply section, in particular)
would get flexed every time the display was moved.
