I turned on my VT220 for the first time in nearly a year. The
screen says "VT220 Keyboard Error 4", all four green LED's (on the
top right of the keyboard) stay lit, and nothing appears on the
screen when I type.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the coiled-cord between the
keyboard and the terminal causes a cursor block to appear on the
screen, but the keyboard is still locked and the LEDs stay on.
Power-cycling the terminal shows the same error message.
However, the boot prompts from the 11/23+ are displayed normally,
so the receive part of the terminal at least is working.
Where should I start looking, before replacing the keyboard?
thanks for any hints
