There was a recent posting about a keyboard that gave no response
other than the power key. I posted a response surmising that it
might be the cord. I recently got the following Email from someone
who has experienced the same problem, and he asked that I post it
for him. I hope this sheds some light for the original poster and
for anyone else who might run into this.

Regarding your response about the locked keyboard: I just went through
the same nonsense (i.e., no keyboard or mouse response except for
power key). The problem I had was intermittent. The problem was a bad
L-Board assembly in the monitor. I am our school's NeXT service person
and I worked closely with NeXT's service manager to locate this problem.
I can't figure out the address of the person who originally posted this
problem and I can never remember how to post usenet messages. Could
you post this or email the response to the person who originally had
the problem? Thanks, Jim Kieley
