[QUOTE="D_Swallow, post: 1120224, member: 174468"] [b]Having the same problem[/b] Funnily enough I'm having the same problem, except I don't have a toddler to blame for the accident. It's the same keys that are jammed on: g and e but not the symbol you mentioned. I called the Applecare line and they suggested resetting the power supply (something like that anyway), which is done by: removing the battery, holding down the power switch for five seconds. Then you replace the battery and immediately after switching it on hold down Apple key, alt, P and R. I'm pretty sure that was the combo, but check on google for it. It seems likely that the damage is done and I expect this won't help although maybe in some circumstances it might. The one useful thing I have to say is press down num lock on the broken keyboard, if that's still working of course. That will enable you to type with the external. Dave [/QUOTE]
