- My wife got a IIvx just before christmas and she brought it home and I
- helped her copy all data from her old SE/30 to it. When she brought it
- to work the machine refused to start by using the start button on the
- keyboard. She had to use the switch on the back. She tried several
- times to no avail.
-
- One evening we went down to her work to see what the problem was, I
- used my magic finger and of course, the bugger started on the first
- attempt! We turned it off and she tried it and it worked for her too.
- Yesterday when she came back after christmas it refuses to start again
- through the keyboard.
-
- Has anyone experienced anything like this? The machine is brand new,
- so I don't think the battery is dead. Isn't the battery needed also
- for the button on the back?
-
- Is it the keyboard or cable?
-
- The machine is a IIvx with CD, 5M ram, 230 Mdisk, extended keyboard
- (data communication keyboard), 14" color monitor.
