There is no [alt] key, because it's a.k.a. [option] key on later
keyboards... :)
The PRAM reset sequence is [command][option][P][R]
I just may have some helpful pdf files around. Send me a note directly, and
let me know as much of the machine name/type as you can.

First thing to do would be re-initialize the
"parameter RAM." Hit
command-alt-p-r on power up. (I have seen corrupted PR cause this
kind of problem.) There are also a couple of things that you can
(very safely) reset with other hot-keys. You'll have to look them
up, though.
... I tried the
command-alt-p-r thing with the existing batteries without luck, but
then there's no Alt key on this particular keyboard (Apple Keyboard II).
It only has command, ctrl, and option meta keys..
