I'm aware of this, and when holding down the right shift key and
pressing a number doesn't give me a symbol, that's usually an
indication of failure. :)

Bill Garber is right about the switch on the decoder board for
choosing either CTRL-RESET or RESET, but I checked this with a DMM and
the Reset key is indeed deader than a doornail.
