- I have a IIvx and have had NO PROBLEM powering up with the keyboard switch.
- There is another switch in the back of the computer which has to be set in
- the proper position. I believe, if I remember right, that it has to be
- locked in the IN position, not the OUT position. This switch is used to
- keep the computer on all the time if it is a file server. The keyboard
- switch doesn't work properly if that switch is set wrong. If that doesn't
- fix your problem, then you have a faulty keyboard, bad battery, etc.
