We tried swapping the keyboard with a surplus one and it worked fine. Primitive, but effective (as long as you have a spare keyboard lying around). We didn't see anything on the diagnostics either. Worth a shot anyway.

I have a Z100 that was not used for about a year. When I turn it on, I get a steady beep , as though a key is depressed and is overrunning the buffer. The video also blinks in time with the blink. I'm able to boot, etc, but it's not usable. The diagnostics don't show anything. Help... I'd hate to retire it before its time Clarence Wilkerson
