The //gs I bought looked like it had a bad keyboard cable. From posts
on csa2 I heard about the din plug solder joints getting cracked.
Seems common enough a problem. Sure enough I had a cracked joint.
Take alook there before you buy the new cable.
Pull the keyboard apart and examine the solder pads at the din plug.
Insert the din plug and wiggle slightly. Better yet if your this far
just get a soldering iron and reheat the connections.
