While working in Amiga Basic my computeroccasionally prints some garbled
characters.The keyboard prints ok for a while and then it prints a few garbled
characters.What is the problem is the CPU,Keyboard or just Static electricity.I
have had my Amiga 6 months and this has just started.Any answers would be
helpful.
Richard,
If it has just started, and you are using the same software you were
using before, I'd suspect the keyboard connector and/or the contacts. Do the
keys feel "sticky"? How badly is the keyboard cable kinked at the back of the
computer? Do you have any animals that would chew on the cable (like a cat)?
Check that stuff out, and if you don't find anything wrong…I'd take the Amiga
to a dealer's and see if it acts up there….and if they can fix it.

My cat rePREsents that remark! <grin>…Marlene
And my 2 cats once thought they should "play" with my mouse!
Don
Actually, I have 2 cats too – but only one likes to get into mischief!
Now if you really want wire chewing problems – get a rabbit! My "former" bunny
chewed through every wire on my Atari 800 – and you know how many power packs
there were for it!!!!

Marlene;
I had a dog that chewed on wires when he was a puppy. I found a great
solution to the problem (after repairing the wires). I put a little chinese
(hot) mustard on them. He went over and started to chew then started shaking
and twisting his head. He never did it again!
Ken
hehe – I've heard of that solution before – I know that would do it for me if I
was into wire chewing!

Ken,
Tabasco sauce works real fine too. <grin> …. Rick
