Subj: DEAD KEYS

Ran into a strange situation today. I usually leave my Model 200 set up at home
until I have to bag it up and take it on the road for work. I don't bang it
around and NOBODY uses it but me. I had been experiencing no problems of any
kind, then with no warning several keys refused to work in any mode: normal,
caps lock or numbers lock. The keys were the 7, u, j, m, the comma and the up
key of the four cursor movement keys. I turned the unit off and set aside,
fearful I was going to have to revert to my typewriter. I realized I had a
document stored on disk that I could print out and complete with the
typewriter, so I pulled the 200 out and hooked it all up. Surprisingly, the
ailing keys worked fine, with no beating or bruising. Any idea what caused
this? Should I take it to the technical people where I work for a look to make
sure it doesn't happen again?
