I travel with it all the time, and before getting my Brenthaven backpack, it was just bouncing around in my canvas briefcase with all my other junk! No paint problems, no hinge issues, etc. I do have a bad FireWire port (and use a FireWire PC card instead) and I have one red pixel. Considering how I treat it (as a tool, not a fragile piece of electronic equipment), I'm quite pleased. Sounds like you did get a lemon. I hope your current repair resolves all of your issues!
