What I do to correct problems with the KBD is shut everythingy OFF and
then disconnect the KBD. Turn it over and remove about 12-15 screws to
open the KBD. Then remove another 15-18 small screws turn the printed
circuit card over and using a typewritter eraser clean all of the
contacts for each key. If needed using a cotton swab clean all of the
keys undersides and then putting all back together and restart. Problems
are GONE.

I thought I knew that I knew what I thought
But now I know that what I thought I knew
Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
