Wonky power supplies can really nail the IIe I guess...  I had a IIe about 6 
years ago and the shift keys stopped working when the power supply wonked.  
Definately check the keyboard.

AN UNRELATED STORY THAT I HAD TO GET OFF MY CHEST:  I sold the IIe in 1989 
to buy a ROM 03 IIgs.  I had it until March 94, but I had to sell it for 
college money...  Priorities suck.  I want my IIgs back!
