I've bought store display items in the past and never had a warranty problem.  There is no reason the warranty shouldn' be in effect since it is supposed to start running with the first purchaser.  With demo cars you get a full warranty minus the miles on the demo.  As for a replacement keyboard you'd need to ask Averatec support or you could do a google search for it.  The full keyboard is going to nullify your savings on this demo purchase even if you're capable of putting it in yourself, I can tell you that.  If I were you I'd see if you couldn't bring it back to the store and get a regular one.
