Re: [Thinkpad] A series chassis damage

I had a chassis crack on a 770, but the crack appeared right
after I got hit by a car while carrying it. It took me a long
time to recover; the 770 was working properly the first time I
tried it in the hospital.

If the A20 chassis is anything like the 770 chassis, spontaneous
crack is pretty unbelievable.
