Hello,
In my PowerBook G4, model 1106, I have buttons that don't always work. M, J, U, 7 and sometimes my Delete button. Sometimes I get the buttons to work by just going to a different field while typing. Other times, like here, I have no problem typing. Sometimes while having this problem it appears that when I press the area between the Space Bar and the TracPad, the problem goes away.
This Mac has not had any IT check in a couple of years. It's my daily work use computer. I have 19.4 GB available. Hmmm, U just quit, then a little press to that area and it's typing fine again. I do mean little press. I'm not pounding on it. I'm not moving anything else. I accidently discovered this way to temporarily stop this problem. Sometimes I do have to press several times to get around this problem.
What can I do about this problem? Is this a dirt problem where there needs to be some cleaning? Does the keyboard or a cable need to be replaced?
I appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.
