Thanks, I hope I don't have to take you up your offer! However, if I
do get to "that point," I'm glad to know I have some options.
Right now I'm waiting to see if I can get an old mobo from work so I
can harvest the battery holder. Radio Shack apparently doesn't carry
the part listed at the Old Crow's site these days (I went to a few
local ones looking for even some left over stock). In the meantime,
I'll start by cleaning the keybed and seeing if the dodgy patch #4
button can be cleaned.
I may be screaming for help soon enough!
