Okay - Got it to come on, and think I have figured out the problem. It seems that the lower heat stakes have relaxed over time, and are no longer holding the case together tightly. After it finbally came on, only a few of the keys worked, and only while pushing them really hard. A little more experimenting, and I found that if I apply pressure above the "8" key, most of the other buttons work - the x and / still require a little heavier pressure, and the + and - still don't work.
This seems like an odd explanation though, since these can be taken apart by destroying the heat stakes, and then snapped back together and they work fine. Hmmm...
I wonder if all the contacts are just dirty..?
Any suggestions?
