A500 keyboard problem ...

[orange]

pozdrav,

I have had a problem with A500 keyboard, maybe its related. there is a small piece of plastic insulator beneath the PCB; pins can punch through and make a short (to metal shielding). you should check that. I'd try the keyboard in another A500, to be sure its not CIA or something like that. perhaps replacing the capacitors on keyboard PCB would fix it.

Pozdrav !
I rouled out hardware malfunction of any kind, because as I stated earlier, in xcopy, when i have to enter a name for a newly formatted disk, my keyboard works perfectly. It's a WB thing, I think. Haven't tried to CTRL+D it during boot process yet, but I will as suggested earlier.

Well, if this one isn't for ag. Mulder and Scully ... I've found out what's wrong with my keyboard. Ok, maybe I haven't FOUND OUT what's wrong with my keyboard, but what I realised was when I loose up a few screws on the back of the left side of the keyboard, the damn thing works normal. I tried 3 different WB disks, CTRL+D it into shell, nothing helped. A few months of mind phu%ing and three loose screws later, it finally works ! And if you ask me how come it worked in xcopy (every god damn time), I'll direct you to the paranormal investigators mentioned above. Thanks every1 for doing your best and trying to help.
