I have the same problem with my Sanyo MSX2+ 70FD. The problem lays in the plastic flatcable connection from the keyboard to the mainboard. In my case, it's that bad that even after I put it right again (with much much effort 'cause however I put it it never seems to work), when I close the case afterwards it moves a little and some keys cease functioning again. I hope that you will have more luck getting it to work again. Just open your MSX up, turn it on, and move the cable a little, and test in Basic if you can press all keys again.
It is very likely that this is the problem, and not just a dirty keyboard (so you can safe yourself the trouble of cleaning it), since R, N and M are all in row 4 of the keyboard matrix, and F3, CAPS and GRAPH are all in row 6. Also, R / F3 and N / CAPS and M / GRAPH are all in the same columns. That's too much of a coincidence if the latter were the case. ~Grauw ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patriek Lesparre" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2002 8:48 PM Subject: [MSX] Sanyo MSX2+ keyboard trouble > Hello all, > > Today I tried my Sanyo MSX2+ (70FD2) after not using it for about 2 years, > and I noticed some of the keys were not functioning! > N,M,R,CAPS,GRAPH,F3 were all not working :( > > My question is, what could it be?
