A few months back I posted a note stating that my A500's keyboard was
locking up with the caps lock light flashing.  The solution was:
replace the keyboard.  I would like to thank the following people for their
assistance:

	David Gillespie		(dg49+@andrew.cmu.edu)
	Mike Powell		(mikep@hpmwngf.hp.com)
	Jim Struglia		(c465353@umcvmb.missouri.edu)

I had this problem too.  I called a service center.  They told me it
is a inherent problem with the 500 chip set.  The recommended solution
is as you did.  Turn it off for a while.  Although it usually only
takes five to ten miniutes for mine to work again.
