 I just had *exactly* the same thing happen to my GS keyboard! The ADB port is
fried on the left side of the keyboard. The only thing I can think of causing
this, is to have the keyboard in your lap thus bending the cable (which
torques the port pins). After about 2 years of this, a pin finally snapped.
The only solution to this problem, that I've been able to find anyway, is to
hard-wire the cable into the keyboard. I didn't though. I got a new Apple
extended keyboard ;) Hope this helps!
