Hi Keith Several thoughts ... If it is the same key you may have something trapped underneath the key/keys or the keyboard cables may not be correctly seated on the logic board. If you see a diagonal line of keys not functioning it may be a fault on the keyboard. I'd undo the 3 retaining screws under the Powerbook, gently lift the keyboard and undo the clips on the logic board retaining the keyboard cables CAREFULLY. Take the keyboard out give if a good blow and replace. If you still have a problem then I can supply replacements. The 190, 5300 and 3400 are all the same.
