[comp.sys.atari.st] who can fix this in U.K. ?

Yesterday, after having loaded a new disk, my son lost the control of his
Atari 512 STe . We cannot input anything from the keyboard or the mouse.
Disk drive is functioning normally. This is a brand new computer serial number
A10AA 3043174. We reset the ST and the problem remains. We can do nothing. 

This looks like a virus problem. I am resident in U.K.. Do you know who I can be
in touch with in order to fix this problem?

Thanks & Regards

Yves

Thanks to  R.LUNNON@qut.edu.au

He help me to fix the problem.

In fact, it was a faulty joystick in port 1. The fire switch was blocked ON.
Consequently, this disables the keyboard and the mouse.

Recommendation:

If your keyboard and/or your mouse doesn't have any action, disconnect any
device in port 0 or port 1 and try a program using the keyboard.

Thanks one more time
