|    My C-128 is throwing random chars    |

      INTL 3:770/1 3:770/3       REPLYADDR paul.s.macmillan@gmail.com       REPLYTO 3:770/3.0 UUCP       MSGID: <95da5d03-5f32-4bdc-a10c-d64d5b033ae1o@googlegroups.com> 60de5949       PID: SoupGate-Win32 v1.05       Recently my C-128 has started acting very oddly, it throws random characters as        if I were typing them but I'm not. Sometimes it acts like I press keys even       when my fingers aren't on the keyboard, and sometimes it will add random keys       among the actual        keys I am typing.              OK, this is old hardware, and things happen... but it was flawless until now.       What would be a fix for this -- does this sound like something "recapping"       would address? I am pretty clueless when it comes to hardware issues.              Is there a diagnostic image (in D64 or D71 format for an SD2IEC) out there that        might help?              Thanks.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/5 15/0 2 19/36 90/1 104/115 106/201 114/224 702       SEEN-BY: 114/705 706 709 116/18 120/340 601 123/131 140 128/2 73 187       SEEN-BY: 128/253 153/7715 218/700 222/2 226/16 30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/275 424 426 664 1014 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/1       SEEN-BY: 249/206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155 275/100       SEEN-BY: 282/1031 1056 291/100 111 298/25 305/1 3 310/2 312/2 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 801/161 189 2320/105 3005/1 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 770/3 1 712/848 261/38 15/0 317/3 229/426           |
