Funny this morning the keyboard on my MBP didn't work because the night before I disconnected everything without proper ejecting drives and such. I got worried and after 3 restarts with PRAM resets. I did the bottom 3 and power switch deal and it was fixed. Magic I call it. It seems to work on most PowerBooks.
