Louis,
I have had similar problems with my SX-64 in the past as well. What it
turned out to be for me was some loose connetions inside the computer. Once
I open it up and reseat all socketed chips and any edge connectors with the
boards inside everything worked fine again. Never had a keyboard go bad on
me yet (knock wood), this has always fixed it up right away for me.
Hope this helps,
Greg Manuel

Subject: Commodore 64-sx Keyboard getting stuck?
Hi, I pulled out my 64-sx out of the box it's been stored with in
anticipation of getting my JiffyDos upgrade installed into it. To my
dismay, when I plugged it all in and powered it on, the keyboard
wouldn't work properly. Any of the keys have to be pressed multiple
times (3 to 10 times) in order to get the character to show up on
screen.
Any suggested remedies? I'm wondering if the keyboard contacts are
just a little dirty and need a little cleaning, but I wanted to check
with the gurus before prying it apart.
Thanks,
Louis
