Hi.
I was working on w20-575-42 when the keyboard failed. The mouse
still worked perfectly fine, but the keyboard heys had no effect.
Even when I pressed the caps lock key, the green light did not turn
on.
Since the mouse worked, I was able to save my files and log out. However,
the machine failed to properly reboot -- it tried the xlogin, failed, and
settled for a console login with a white screen. The keyboard is still dead.
