Kathleen and others,
Yes, it is a rare occurence. It is usually
caused by malfunctioning keyboard spring
(there are two notches under the key that
keeps the keys in place). Once a while ago,
I had a faulty keyboard where my ENTER key
(on the BT keyboard, of course) on my old
Classic would fall off. I've checked out
underneath the keyboard and found that one of
the notches was broken. I've put the key
back in its place and it worked fine. Once,
I've even took out some keys from my laptop
and put those keys back on their correct
spots (and the amazing thing is that I've
done it 100% accurately).
There is a little spring that controls key
action. Even though a key is missing, you
can use this spring to type. This type of
keyboard malfunction usually takes place on
the right side of the keyboard (on the BT, it
is usually dots 6 or 8; on the QT, all keys
to the right of the l key are usually
targeted).
Cheers,
Joseph

Oh wow!
That would scare me into tomorrow!
Marlaina, you have a problem that I've never
seen on this List
before, and hope it doesn't happen again to
anyone!
I can't see how you can deal with the
missing key, without
sending your BN to the hospital!
Andrew Riden: Would you say this is a rare
occurrence?
