- I booted my machine yesterday and found that the keyboard no longer
- works. The only keys that DO work are Ctrl-A-A to reboot the
- machine. I noticed that the light in the CAPS LOCK key is flashing
- at about 1 flash per second. Looking through my manual I could
- find no reference to a diagnostic condition displayed using the caps
- lock light.
-
- The mouse/joystick work fine, so I can do anything that does not
- require any typing (like games ;-), but I cannot do any work.
-
- What is the problem? How do I fix it?
-
- Please e-mail as I do not regularly read this newsgroup.
