Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 14:09:37 -0700 That sounds like a loose keyboard connector. Time to call AppleCare, since in the Al series the kb isn't user-serviceable, iirc. To check this assumption I carefully tapped the front two corners vertically on my 'real' desktop. I chose the front as normally one closes the PB by turning it on it's small back so tapping in the opposite direction might 'reset' the connection. Assumption confirmed, the keyboard works. I have to inform Laurent that the PB 17 has no little switch to lift the keyboard out. I have the service doc on my PB but the accessibility is daunting so Ill check first with AppleCare as we have an Apple Store in the neighborhood who might fix this at short notice. Shall report on the outcome. Many thanks and greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

That sounds like a loose keyboard connector. Time to call AppleCare, since in the Al series the kb isn't user-serviceable, iirc. Is the keyboard in the new Aluminum PowerBooks similar to the older G3 Series? e.g., can you just lift it up and check for a loose connection from the keyboard ribbon cable? They don't seem to be exactly the same because, on my PB17, I don't see the little switch to release the keyboard I guess I'm just trying to suggest the original poster to see if he can check for a loose keyboard ribbon cable before making the call (and possibly the trip) to AppleCare and being out of his PowerBook for some time... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
