I'd guess that it could be that the keyboard fuse is blown, that's
fairly cheap to fix, IF it's that & not something else (in regular
desktop computers, when someone plugs & unplugs the keyboard, they can
blow that fuse, it's usually a 2 Amp microfuse. Little green cylinder
1/2 inch long, looks lika a 1/4 watt resistor.) The PC110 is a rather
UN-usual case, so it may be something different (anyone know? I'm
trying to resist the urge to take mine apart, until after I get moved
in...)

Wonder if someone has a PC110 repair manual, in english as I don't
know japanese...
