TEST THE KEYBOARD

You can test the keyboard very quickly. Exit all the applications and turn off the machine. Hold down the ESC key and press the ON key, then let up ESC. This brings up the self test screen. Move the highlight down to Keyboard and press Enter. "101" will appear next to the keyboard. That means you should press the left-most key of the 1st (top) row (i.e. the ESC key). The number then changes to "102" and you press the 2nd key in the 1st row (the tab key) and so on. Continue on across the top row, then move to the 2nd row, etc.

If you hit any key other than the expected key, the 95LX shows you the key number of the key you actually pressed. Hit the wrong key 5 times and you'll get the "User bad" error message and the test will fail. To see a limerick run the display test. Keep pressing <space bar> to advance through the test displays.
