I need some help here, preferrably someone who troubleshoots 3000's.
My 3000 has been having problems with the keyboard.  When booting, often
from 1.32 to 2.0, but not always, the keyboard does not work.  The only
solution seems to be unplugging and replugging in the keyboard.  The caps lock
light will then go on, and the keyboard works.
 
The second problem:
My 1950 is also acting VERY strange.  Quite often, sometimes when on
for long periods of time, the monitor image starts to jiggle, and horizontal
lines appear near the top and near the bottom of the screen, also jiggling.
If I adjust the Vertical Size to some ungodly small size, it stops for
a while, but now I have a 3 inch black space on the top and on the bottom.
Then, if this doesn't work, the image just shrinks all of a sudden, without
my aid, with a black boarder all around the image, and the controls on
the monitor do not work (AT ALL).  Also, quite often, there is a large,
very loud static/electric discharge (POP!) from the monitor.
