caps were first to come to mind.  Finding it could be a real pain though 
without diagrams.  Hopefully someone has them available.  As it turns 
out there WAS some variation it seems..related to..whether i was hitting 
the key all the time to see when it fails. lol!  It fails in about 30 
seconds if I only hit it once at the beginning for instance!
