A friend of mine complains that two times when she tried to boot up
her A500 (+external floppy +512k expansion in belly), it blinked the
caps lock light, and refused to boot up properly.  I don't have the
full details, but does anyone know what is going on from this
description?

Further, I think there is a service in the US called "Commodore
Express" for A500 owners.  She's still under warrantee, but the
nearest dealer is > 50 miles away, and she has no car.  What is the
best strategy for getting her machine operational again?  She's
worried that it will die completely the night before she has a paper
due.  I'm worried too.
