Hi,
are you shure the keyboard is working completely? Have you checked the CTRL and AMIGA keys?
If the keyboard is in working condition the problem may be the result of a defect Gary. Gary interprets the keyboard reset signal and produces the reset signals for the hardware.
If Gary is also ok, you would have to purchase a service manual for the A1200 and search for the small ICs that are involved in keyboard handling.
