[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1846815, member: 76746"] Thank You Patrick for sticking with me on this confusing problem. No spills & all keys bounce back up. I took the key cap off to see if the silicone button was actually going up and down. It does. Thanks also for your suggestion to use Keyboard Viewer. I never knew it was there. The viewer's mighty handy. [U]Keyboard Viewer Results[/U]: I did all the combinations & found: [I]Control-[B]Left[/B] Command[/I] only lights up the Control key. (The trouble spot) [I]Control-[B]Right[/B] Command[/I] lights up both the Control & Both Command keys. [I][B]Left[/B] Command[/I] Alone lights up both Command keys [I][B]Left [/B]Command[/I] in combination with any other key- [U]except Control[/U]- lights up all pressed keys. Since [B]Left [/B]Command works except when combined with Control, I am not sure if the focus should be hardware or software. PS: Function Key does not work at all, so I believe Function is certainly a hardware problem. [/QUOTE]
