You are not working in a vacuum situation in this instance. Everything you need to figure out the problem is right in front of you. You state that several of the keys have this problem, which means that the preponderance of the keys don't. You, as the tech on site, should be able to do a comparative analisis of why, between those that function properly and those that don't. Those of us who came up prior to the internet and cellphones learned to do this, you should too! I'm not saying you shouldn't ask questions, I'm saying you should attempt to figure it out for yourself, this is what makes you a true technician. If you simply can't or the result was unsatisfactory or satisfactory then post with the problem and what you did to see if there are other ways to do it or how to do it. Mike -- I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
