Brian,
I checked the T102 owner’s manual on Club100 (Documentation/T102-second scan), page 122. Ref: http://www.club100.org/library/libdoc.html It says that to do a Cold Start, you hold down the Ctrl Key along with the Pause Key (both at the same time), then press either the Power On/Off button or the Reset Button and release it (then release the Ctrl and Pause keys). Even though your keyboard seems to be inoperative, it is worth a try. A Cold Start will completely wipe the memory and restart/reload the operating system from the onboard ROM. So a Cold Start wipes out any user files you might have made. Since your keyboard is not working yet, you probably have no user files loaded anyway,. It is best to use an AC adapter (wall wart) to recharge the internal NiCD battery, I THINK. It may recharge from the AA batteries as well, but I am not sure about that. There is a note on Club100 about how what wall wart and connector are needed. Ref: http://www.club100.org/library/sup/05.txt These wall warts are different from the ordinary as they are Center Negative. Some people have adapted other (nominal 6vDC) AC adapters by soldering the correct barrel plug on while respecting the need for Center Negative. Hope this helps, Bob From: M100 [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Converse Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2017 1:39 PM To: Model 100 Discussion Subject: Re: [M100] 102 Keyboard Thanks for responding Bob. Contrast works. Not sure about cold start. I put batteries in it as there is no power supply. Is there some procedure for this? Does it need to plugged into AC to charge NiCD?

Have you done a cold start to be sure the memory is not scrambled? Let the onboard NiCD battery charge up? Please accept my apology if you have already done these things.
