Dysfunctional 3400c keyboard.

Hi everyone, I'm having another problem with my Powerbook. The [F4], 4, R, F and V keys have stopped working. Well, almost. If I hold down the key for a long time, I can sometimes get the keypress to register. However, it doesn't always register the correct keypress. For example, once when I held

wireless router recommendations
