Hi, Can anyone help me with the following keyboard problem with my A500? I need to know what causes it, and what can be done about it. The symptoms are as follows: The Second top row (qwerty...) seems to lock up, requiring multiple keystrokes. This isnt continuous, sometimes it requires 10 presses to register, sometimes only 1. It isnt restriced to that row, it can happen to any key, but that row seems to do it the most. This tends to get worse as time goes by, although this might just be subjective. It makes the machine useless for serious work. I have opened the keyboard up, and tested the top row of the "conducting grid" for breaks, I didn't find any. I really want to know if anyone has had similar problems, and if so, was the plastic sheet/grid at fault? If so I think I could replace it, because I took it out when I took the keyboard apart, and then put it back in. This didn't seem to effect the keyboard in any way.
