Dead 3400?

[Dan Scanlan]

Here's an update. After days of not being able to power up my 3400c 
at all -- no chime, no lights, nothing -- I reckoned there might be a 
funky component on the motherboard or elsewhere, so I set the thing 
out in the sun, bottom up, on a 100 degree day and let it cook.  When 
I plugged it again and hit the reset button on the back, it fired up! 
But without extensions. Also, the icons on the desktop won't open by 
double clicking, and don't deselect if I click on a second icon. In 
other words, it acts as though the shift key is down. I removed the 
keyboard completely and plugged in an external keyboard. It still 
acts as though the shift key is down. I fired it up without any 
keyboard. Same thing.

I think there is a funky component on the motherboard and/or in the 
input buss area. I've reached the end of my expertise -- and rope.

I'd certainly appreciate some insight.
