- As long as you're scrubbing contacts, it might not be a bad idea to check
- the contacts of the key GLU too. My own observations of the problem don't
- rule out the possibility that some signal is getting lost between the
- microcontroller and the CPU (i.e. in the GLU).

- In my machine, both the microcontroller and the GLU are surface-mounted...I
- can't imagine that trying to clean them would be much fun...
