Command key stopped working
Posted by: Gil on 2009-09-24 19:30:48
I just got a PowerBook G3 Lombard yesterday, and everything worked fine, but as of today, the Command key no longer works. I tried resetting the PRAM - but it doesn't work, cause the computer doesn't detect the Command key being reset. I connected a USB keyboard, and the Command key works. While I'm sure it's certainly possible for it to be the keyboard, why would the one key just go out randomly? The computer has been acting a little flaky - I'm going to reload OS 9 as soon as my CD-ROM drive module comes.

Any ideas? :-/

Sometimes keyboards just do that. I had a Dell keyboard a few years back, and the b, n, m, comma and space bar all went out at the same time. The day that happened (prior to the crash of 2007), I made a whole heap of posts on here thatlookedlikethis. 😛
