------------ Last night my TI99/4A started generating extra characters (when a key was pushed multiple characters would be provided), or it would ignore a keystroke. I found that the metal spring clip holding the ribbon cable on the keyboard had pressed through several of the ribbon cable wires, and were intermittently shorting out through the spring. I placed a tab of plastic between the spring and the cable, and things are fine now. Just thought I'd let you know the symptom and solution for an aggravating problem.
