An old G3 iMac will boot and run, but the keyboard seems
to have dead top (numeral) and bottom (period, comma) rows.
Spacebar works. It's model M2452. The mouse seems ok plugged
into the keyboard's hub. The keys feel normal mechanically.
With nothing to lose I'm tempted to try taking it apart.
Can anybody offer hints where to looks for trouble of this
sort?
Thanks for reading,

weren't that great anyway.
you probably have a few usb keyboards already, so no need to buy
anything.

keyboards are never easy to fix no matter who makes them.
