SYMPTOM: Computer unexpectedly ignores keyboard entries. It operates all
right after pressing the reset button on the back panel.
PROBABLE CAUSES AND REMEDIES:
1_ Disconnect and reconnect the coiled cord which attaches the keyboard to
the computer.
2_ Fluctuations in the AC power line. Use another outlet or an External Power
Conditioner. Some battery backup units will filter out noise from heavy elec-
trical machinery as well as cover for temporary "brownouts."
3.
External peripheral devices or their connection cables may be at fault. Try
operation without peripheral or with different cable to isolate the problem.
4.
Damaged or faulty disk. Try another copy of your master diskette.
5.
Incorrect instruction sequence. Check the appropriate manual to insure that
you are using the correct operations and sequence.
