A friend has a 130XE with a flakey keyboard.  The symptoms are:

Anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes after powering on, the keyboard stops
working, but not completely.  You just have to press very hard to get
the keys to register.

Powering off then back on has no effect if the power-on is immediate.
The unit must remain off for awhile to have any effact.

This sounds sorta like a heat problem and sorta like a mechanical
problem.  Does anyone have any suggestions for him.

Thanks.
