Message-ID: Date: 13 Mar 91 20:55:09 GMT Sender: tm86214@cc.tut.fi (Miettinen Topi) Distribution: comp Organization: Tampere Univ. of Technology, Finland. Lines: 19 Disclaimer: Opening computer voids warranty! The disease: One day, the Caps Lock LED in my A500 started to blink, and in few seconds, boot. This happened randomly thereafter. Sometimes it just freezed, sometimes it booted in 5-second intervals (horrors!) Meet the cure: I opened the case, took the keyboard out and disassembled it. Then I blowed any dust and hair away from the keys and especially from the circuits. I put all things back. This was two weeks ago, and everything has been OK. Another thing related to A500's and their keyboards: It has bothered me since I bought my A500, that the drive LED seems to be red, when it's not lit. Therefore I put some tape around the power LED, and now it's perfect! tm86214@ee.tut.fi Topi Miettinen OP Mnemonic Description moviesAmigaTDelec Tiaisentie 17 D FDFF BUGL VMS bugcheck tronicsRPGsleepeat SF-33100 Tampere - VAX-11 Programming Card
