A sad fate

[striegel]

Have you tried pressing on the area below the screen above the top row of keys while pressing the On key? If this works, you can fix it pretty well yourself.

This is a common area of fatigue when the foam that's meant to press the keyboard contacts against the printed circuit board starts to give up.
