Have other users who reverted to Dingo had any nasty new problems since?

I am almost totally certain this was hardware failure. I noticed that movement of one side, like closing or opening, will cause a menu to pop open. I took it to Best Buy today, as I had an errand there, and the Geek Squad feels a wire burned or cracked, from normal everyday wear and tear. He said having the wiring in the hinge meant stress, especially when hot. He was not trying to obtain a customer, he flat out said it would cost more to fix than to obtain a replacement.
