Re: USB keybord curiosity
Ah, yes. The old, "My lunch ate the computer issue!" Well, I would have denided
the possibility, but in this case I would have been supported by the evidence.
Shaking the keyboard upside-down and thoroughly dusting resulted in no change. As did
cleaning the USB dongle and the slot.
So, thanks for the suggestion. I'm still stumped!

Probably good to shoot some dust off into the USB connectors - perhaps
change the connector used in the computer, and consider using some
shaped
stiff card stock covered by a bit of old white T shirt slightly wet
and
then dry (or with some 99% (or at least 90% no lanolin) isopropyl
alcohol)
to clean the inside of the connector finishing with a dry rub and dust
off.
Might also be a good time to badblock the disk if appropriate (that is
- if
it is not SSD).
Virus root kit scan. Possible system re-load. If still no joy
consider
replacement.
