Sun Type 4 keyboard problem, help needed

C Fernandez wrote: "stop" is on some sun keyboards "L1" (dont recall which). This is also the upper left key on the left hand bank of 10 keys if there are different legends on your keyboard. It is useful to do this, as you end up with a firmware prompt at that point, and can type "boot s" to boot single user. if you have sun 4.1, this is all you need to crack the root password, as you can in older versions of sun 4 directly get a root prompt in the boot sequence and clear the root password. Now days, that requires a solaris boot cd, and starting (but not completing an install). this is all covered in faqs, so I wont repeat more than this. did you have partial functionality with this keyboard before disassembly, or was there possibly some stuck keys then, and still are? that is the thing that sort of jumps out at me. the beep at startup is good, as are flashing all lights. if it goes for a while and never blinks a code, that is good as well. on a normal startup, I don't think you get any codes. this would tend to suggest that things are okay at that point. It sounds like if you can't find a stuck key (maybe) or some other problem, then you may have to go and get another keyboard. they are'nt so expensive as to preclude this. Jim
